Detailed Product Features and Benefits

The Power Stop - Rear Z16 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads are crafted with a ceramic friction material composition that offers stable braking performance while generating less dust compared to traditional semi-metallic pads. Both the outer and inner pads have a friction material thickness of 15.7 mm, which supports longer service intervals. The slotted design enhances heat dissipation during braking, helping to reduce the risk of brake fade under demanding conditions. Chamfered edges contribute to quieter braking by reducing pad-to-rotor noise and vibration. Included pad shims ensure a secure fit and further reduce noise, although these pads do not come with a pad wear sensor.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or damaged rear disc brake pads on BMW 840Ci, 850Ci, 850CSi, and 850i
• Reduces brake dust accumulation on wheels for easier maintenance
• Improves braking consistency under moderate to heavy use
• Minimizes brake noise and vibration through chamfered edges and shims
• Helps prevent brake fade with slotted pad design for heat management

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure compatibility with your BMW 840Ci, 850Ci, 850CSi, or 850i rear disc brake system before installation. The included pad shims should be installed as provided to reduce noise and ensure proper pad alignment. Since these pads do not include a wear sensor, verify the condition of existing sensors or replace as needed. It is recommended to inspect rotors for wear or damage and resurface or replace if necessary to maintain optimal braking performance.
