Power Stop Z16 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads are a front disc brake pad set for the 2022-2026 Acura MDX. Built for stock-replacement service, this Power Stop Z16 Evolution formula focuses on consistent braking response, reduced brake dust, and quieter operation for everyday driving.

Key Features

• Ceramic friction material for dependable stopping performance

Product Line Details

The Power Stop Z16 Evolution line is designed as a practical replacement option for drivers who want original-equipment-style braking characteristics without moving to a performance-focused pad. Part number 16-2396 is part of that line and is built to deliver stable pedal feel and predictable wear in normal street driving.

Detailed Description

Power Stop 16-2396 front brake pads are engineered for the Acura MDX platform with a ceramic compound that helps reduce brake dust buildup while maintaining consistent braking performance. The OE positive mold process supports uniform pad density, and the thermal scorched surface helps shorten the initial bedding period. If you are replacing worn front pads on a 2022-2026 Acura MDX, this set provides a direct-fit, stock-replacement solution.

This part cross-references BENDIX PREMIUM COPPER FREE CFC2396 and Dynamic Friction Company 1551-2396-00 for the same application.

Installation Notes and Tips
