• Pad wear sensor not included

Detailed Product Features and Specifications

The Power Stop - Front Z16 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads are engineered with a ceramic friction material composition that reduces brake dust buildup compared to traditional semi-metallic pads. Both the outer and inner pads have a friction material thickness of 17.7 mm, providing durability and consistent braking performance over time. The pads feature a slotted design which helps to dissipate heat efficiently, reducing the risk of brake fade during demanding driving conditions. Chamfered edges contribute to quieter operation by preventing uneven pad wear and minimizing noise. Additionally, included pad shims help to further reduce vibration and noise for a smoother braking experience. These pads do not include a pad wear sensor, so sensor replacement is not part of this set.
