• Outer and inner pad friction material thickness: 15.3 mm
• Includes mechanical pad wear sensor for timely maintenance alerts
• Slotted design for improved heat dissipation and consistent braking
• Chamfered edges to reduce noise and vibration
• Includes pad shims to minimize brake squeal
• Ceramic friction material composition for quieter operation and reduced dust
• Performance grade type suitable for daily driving and moderate performance demands

Detailed Product Features and Benefits

The Power Stop - Front Z16 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads are crafted with a ceramic friction material that provides stable braking performance while generating less brake dust compared to traditional semi-metallic pads. Both the outer and inner pads have a friction material thickness of 15.3 mm, ensuring a longer service life. The slotted design helps to dissipate heat effectively, reducing the risk of brake fade during extended use. Chamfered edges and included pad shims work together to minimize noise and vibration, contributing to a smoother braking experience. Additionally, the mechanical pad wear sensor alerts drivers when pad replacement is necessary, helping maintain optimal brake system performance.
