PowerStop 16-2178 Disc Brake Pad Set - Front

Power Stop Front Z16 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads Overview

The Power Stop - Front Z16 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads (Part Number 16-2178) are designed specifically for Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross models. These performance-grade disc brake pads offer a balance of effective stopping power and reduced brake dust for cleaner wheels.

• Compatible with Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross front disc brakes
• Durable ceramic friction material with 15.8 mm thickness on both inner and outer pads
• Includes mechanical pad wear sensors for timely maintenance alerts
• Slotted and chamfered edges to reduce noise and improve pad bedding
• Comes with pad shims to minimize vibration and enhance braking performance

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

The Power Stop - Front Z16 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads are part of Power Stop's performance line, engineered to provide consistent braking with minimal dust generation. The ceramic friction material ensures quieter operation and less rotor wear compared to traditional semi-metallic pads. Both the inner and outer pads feature a substantial 15.8 mm friction material thickness, contributing to longer service life. The inclusion of mechanical pad wear sensors helps monitor pad condition, alerting drivers when replacement is necessary. Slotted design improves heat dissipation and reduces brake fade, while chamfered edges help prevent noise and uneven pad wear. Pad shims are included to further reduce vibration and enhance overall braking smoothness.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or damaged front disc brake pads on Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross
• Reduces brake dust accumulation on wheels for easier maintenance
• Improves braking consistency under normal and performance driving conditions
• Addresses brake noise issues with chamfered edges and shims
• Helps prevent premature rotor wear through ceramic friction material

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Power Stop 16-2178 brake pads, ensure the mechanical pad wear sensors are properly connected to maintain accurate wear monitoring. Clean the caliper and rotor surfaces before installation to promote optimal pad contact. The slotted and chamfered design requires correct orientation; follow manufacturer instructions for proper placement. Use the included pad shims to reduce vibration and noise. It is recommended to inspect rotors for wear and replace or resurface if necessary to ensure even pad wear and braking performance.
