This helps keep wheels cleaner while maintaining effective braking performance. The pads feature slotted surfaces and chamfered edges, which aid in heat dissipation and reduce brake noise during operation. Both the outer and inner pads have a friction material thickness of 16.7 mm, contributing to longer pad life and consistent braking feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncluded with the pads are mechanical pad wear sensors that provide a reliable indication when replacement is needed, helping to maintain safe braking conditions. Pad shims are also supplied to reduce vibration and brake squeal, enhancing overall driving comfort.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePower Stop - Front Z16 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads Product Line\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis product is part of the Power Stop - Front Z16 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads line, which focuses on delivering performance-grade ceramic brake pads designed to reduce dust and noise.
