About the Power Stop - Front Z16 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads Line

The Power Stop - Front Z16 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads line focuses on delivering performance-grade braking components with ceramic friction material. This product line is designed to reduce brake dust buildup and provide quieter operation compared to traditional semi-metallic pads. The inclusion of slotted rotors and chamfered edges in this line helps maintain consistent braking performance and reduces the risk of brake fade under demanding conditions.

Product Details and Specifications

These disc brake pads feature a ceramic friction material composition that balances effective stopping power with low dust generation. Both the outer and inner pads have a friction material thickness of 16.2 mm, contributing to extended pad life. The slotted design enhances heat dissipation during braking, which helps maintain consistent performance and reduces the chance of brake fade. Chamfered edges on the pads minimize noise and ensure smooth pad-to-rotor contact. Pad shims are included to further reduce noise and vibration during braking. Note that these pads do not include a pad wear sensor.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

• Designed for use on Pontiac models compatible with this part number
