These ceramic disc brake pads offer a balance of performance and reduced brake dust for cleaner wheels and consistent stopping power.

• Compatible with Toyota Corolla, Prius, and Prius Prime front disc brakes
• Performance-grade ceramic friction material for smooth braking
• Outer and inner pad friction material thickness of 16.5 mm for extended pad life
• Slotted design to improve heat dissipation and reduce brake fade
• Chamfered edges to minimize noise and vibration
• Includes pad shims for proper fit and noise reduction
• No pad wear sensor included

Detailed Features and Benefits

The Power Stop - Front Z16 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads are engineered with ceramic friction material that provides consistent braking performance while generating less dust compared to traditional semi-metallic pads. Both the outer and inner pads have a friction material thickness of 16.5 mm, which supports longer service intervals. The slotted design helps channel away heat and gases produced during braking, reducing the risk of brake fade under demanding conditions. Chamfered edges further contribute to quieter operation by reducing edge stress and vibration. Pad shims are included to ensure a secure fit and help minimize noise during braking.

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the vehicle is securely lifted and supported before removing the existing front brake pads. Clean the caliper and rotor surfaces thoroughly to promote proper pad seating. Since these pads do not include wear sensors, verify sensor compatibility if your vehicle requires them. Properly install the included pad shims to reduce noise and vibration. After installation, perform a series of gentle stops to bed in the new pads and confirm braking performance.
