Detailed Features and Specifications
The Power Stop - Front Z17 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads with Hardware (part number 17-1252) are crafted with ceramic friction material, which is known for producing less brake dust compared to traditional semi-metallic pads. Both the outer and inner pads have a friction material thickness of 14.3 mm, ensuring durability and consistent braking performance. The pads feature a slotted design that helps dissipate heat and gases generated during braking, reducing the risk of brake fade. Chamfered edges further minimize noise and vibration for a smoother driving experience.
This disc brake pad set includes all necessary mounting hardware and pad shims, simplifying installation and ensuring proper fitment. Additionally, the mechanical pad wear sensor alerts drivers when pad replacement is needed, helping maintain optimal brake system performance.
