Detailed Features and Benefits

The Power Stop - Rear Z16 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads are engineered with a ceramic friction material composition that provides stable braking performance under various driving conditions. Both the outer and inner pads have a friction material thickness of 19.9 mm, ensuring long-lasting durability. The slotted design helps channel away heat and gases generated during braking, reducing the risk of brake fade on heavy-duty Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks. Chamfered edges further contribute to quieter operation by preventing uneven pad wear and noise. Mechanical pad wear sensors are included to alert drivers when it’s time to replace the pads, helping maintain optimal braking safety. Additionally, pad shims are included to reduce vibration and noise, enhancing overall driving comfort.
