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

This set of disc brake pads features a ceramic friction material composition that provides stable braking performance while minimizing brake dust accumulation, helping to keep wheels cleaner. Both the outer and inner pads have a friction material thickness of 17.0 mm, which supports longer service intervals. The pads are slotted to improve heat dissipation and reduce the risk of brake fade during repeated stops. Chamfered edges help to reduce noise and vibration, contributing to a quieter braking experience. Included pad shims assist in proper installation and further noise reduction. These pads do not include a pad wear sensor, so sensor replacement is not required during installation.
