Detailed Product Features and Benefits

The Power Stop - Front Z16 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads are engineered with a ceramic friction material composition that reduces brake dust buildup compared to traditional semi-metallic pads. Both the outer and inner pads have a friction material thickness of 17.2 mm, which supports longer service intervals. The slotted design helps channel away heat and gases generated during braking, improving overall brake performance and reducing the risk of fade under demanding conditions. Chamfered edges further contribute to quieter operation by preventing uneven pad wear and vibration. Included pad shims assist in proper pad alignment and help reduce noise during braking.
