Detailed Features of Power Stop - Front Z16 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads

The Power Stop - Front Z16 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads are engineered with ceramic friction material that offers stable braking performance while producing less brake dust compared to traditional semi-metallic pads. The slotted design helps channel away heat and gases generated during braking, which reduces the risk of brake fade under demanding conditions. Chamfered edges on the pads help reduce noise and ensure a smoother engagement with the rotor. Included pad shims further assist in minimizing vibration and noise, contributing to a quieter braking experience. The thickness of the friction material—15.3 mm on the outer pad and 17.7 mm on the inner pad—ensures a substantial lifespan and consistent performance throughout the pad’s service life.
