About the Power Stop - Rear Z16 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads Line

The Power Stop - Rear Z16 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads line focuses on delivering performance-oriented ceramic brake pads that reduce brake dust and maintain consistent friction. This product line is tailored for vehicles requiring reliable rear braking components with enhanced heat management, making it suitable for commercial and passenger Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans.

Product Details and Specifications

These disc brake pads feature a ceramic friction material composition that provides stable braking performance while generating less dust compared to traditional semi-metallic pads. The slotted design helps channel away heat and gases produced during braking, reducing the risk of brake fade under heavy use. Chamfered edges contribute to quieter operation by preventing uneven pad wear and vibration. Both the inner and outer pads have a friction material thickness of 19.4 mm, ensuring a longer lifespan before replacement is necessary. Pad shims are included to assist with installation and to further reduce noise. Note that these pads do not come with pad wear sensors, so monitoring pad thickness is recommended.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or damaged rear disc brake pads on Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 1500, 2500, 3500, 3500XD, and eSprinter models
• Reduces brake dust accumulation on wheels and surrounding components
• Improves braking consistency during extended or heavy-duty use
• Minimizes brake noise and vibration through chamfered edges and included shims
• Helps prevent brake fade with slotted pad design for better heat dissipation

Installation Notes and Tips

• Ensure compatibility with your specific Mercedes-Benz Sprinter model before installation
• Inspect rotors for wear or damage and resurface or replace if necessary
• Use the included pad shims to reduce noise and ensure proper fitment
• Check brake fluid levels and bleed brakes if needed after installation
• Monitor pad thickness regularly as these pads do not include wear sensors
