Detailed Features and Specifications

The Power Stop - Front Z16 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads feature a ceramic friction material composition that provides 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 14.9 mm, ensuring durability and extended pad life. The slotted design helps channel away heat and gases produced during braking, which can reduce brake fade and maintain consistent stopping power under various driving conditions. Chamfered edges on the pads help reduce noise and vibration, contributing to a smoother braking experience. Additionally, the included pad shims assist in minimizing brake squeal, although these pads do not come with a pad wear sensor.
