• Compatible with Hyundai Elantra, Ioniq, and Kia Niro
• Durable ceramic friction material with 16.3 mm thickness on both inner and outer pads
• Includes mechanical pad wear sensors for timely maintenance alerts
• Slotted design and chamfered edges to reduce noise and improve braking efficiency
• Comes with pad shims to minimize vibration and ensure proper fitment

Detailed Product Features and Specifications

The Power Stop - Front Z16 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads feature a ceramic friction material composition that provides consistent braking performance while generating less dust compared to traditional semi-metallic pads. Both the inner and outer pads have a friction material thickness of 16.3 mm, contributing to longer pad life and reliable stopping power. The pads are slotted to help dissipate heat and gases during braking, which can improve overall brake response and reduce the risk of brake fade.

Chamfered edges on the pads help to reduce noise and prevent uneven wear, while the included pad shims further assist in minimizing vibration and brake squeal. The mechanical pad wear sensors alert drivers when it’s time to replace the brake pads, helping maintain safe braking performance. This set is designed for front disc brake systems on select Hyundai and Kia models, ensuring proper fit and function.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or damaged front disc brake pads on Hyundai Elantra, Ioniq, and Kia Niro
• Reduces brake dust buildup on wheels for cleaner appearance
• Improves braking consistency and reduces noise with slotted and chamfered design
• Alerts driver to pad wear with included mechanical sensors
• Helps prevent brake fade during regular driving conditions

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Power Stop 16-1912 brake pads, ensure the mechanical wear sensors are properly connected to maintain accurate wear monitoring. Clean the caliper and rotor surfaces before installation to promote even pad contact. Use the included pad shims to reduce vibration and noise. It is recommended to inspect the rotors for wear or damage and replace or resurface if necessary to optimize braking performance.
