Features and Specifications

The Power Stop - Front Z17 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads with Hardware are crafted with ceramic friction material, known for its stable performance and reduced dust generation compared to traditional semi-metallic pads. Both the inner and outer pads feature a friction material thickness of 14.4 mm, ensuring durability and extended service life. The pads are slotted to help dissipate heat and gases during braking, which can improve overall braking consistency and reduce the risk of brake fade. Chamfered edges further contribute to quieter operation and smoother engagement.

This disc brake pad set includes all necessary mounting hardware and pad shims, simplifying the installation process and ensuring proper fitment. The pads do not include a wear sensor, so monitoring pad thickness during maintenance is recommended. Designed as a performance-grade option, these pads balance effective stopping power with reduced brake dust, making them suitable for daily driving and moderate performance needs.
