Detailed Product Description

The Power Stop - Rear Z16 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads (16-588) are crafted with a ceramic friction material that provides consistent stopping power while generating less brake dust compared to traditional semi-metallic pads. Both the outer and inner pads feature a friction material thickness of 14.3 mm, ensuring extended pad life and reliable performance. The slotted design helps to dissipate heat effectively, reducing the risk of brake fade during prolonged use. Chamfered edges contribute to quieter braking by minimizing vibration and noise. Additionally, the included mechanical pad wear sensors alert drivers when it’s time to replace the pads, helping maintain optimal braking safety. Pad shims are also included to ensure proper fitment and reduce squealing noises.
