Detailed Features of Power Stop - Front Z16 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads

This set of disc brake pads is engineered with ceramic friction material, which provides a quieter braking experience and generates less brake dust compared to traditional semi-metallic pads. The slotted design enhances heat dissipation during braking, helping to maintain consistent performance and reduce the risk of brake fade under demanding conditions. Chamfered edges further contribute to noise reduction and smoother engagement. Both the outer and inner pads have a friction material thickness of 15.3 mm, ensuring a substantial lifespan. Included pad shims assist in reducing vibration and facilitate a more straightforward installation process.

Application and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or damaged front disc brake pads on Nissan LEAF vehicles
• Reduces brake dust accumulation on wheels for cleaner appearance
• Minimizes brake noise and vibration during operation
• Improves heat management to prevent brake fade in stop-and-go traffic
• Enhances overall braking performance with ceramic friction material

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Power Stop 16-2138 brake pads, ensure the vehicle is securely lifted and the front wheels are removed. Clean the caliper and rotor surfaces before fitting the new pads. Use the included pad shims to reduce noise and vibration. Since these pads do not include a wear sensor, verify the sensor status separately if applicable. Proper bedding-in of the pads after installation is recommended to optimize braking performance.
