Detailed Features and Specifications

The Power Stop - Front Z17 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads with Hardware are crafted with ceramic friction material, which is known for producing less brake dust compared to traditional semi-metallic pads. The outer pad friction material thickness measures 18.6 mm, while the inner pad thickness is 18.1 mm, ensuring durability and extended pad life. These pads feature a slotted design that helps dissipate heat and gases generated during braking, reducing the risk of brake fade. Chamfered edges further contribute to quieter operation and smoother engagement. Included mounting hardware and pad shims simplify the installation process and help maintain proper pad alignment.

Application and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or damaged front disc brake pads on BMW X4, X5, and X6
• Reduces brake dust buildup on wheels for cleaner appearance
• Improves braking performance under normal and performance driving conditions
• Minimizes brake noise and vibration through slotted and chamfered design
• Addresses issues related to uneven pad wear and heat dissipation

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Power Stop 17-1294 brake pads, ensure the mounting hardware and pad shims are properly positioned to maintain pad stability and alignment. It is recommended to inspect the brake rotors for wear or damage and resurface or replace them if necessary to optimize braking performance. Since these pads do not include a wear sensor, verify the existing sensor compatibility or plan for sensor replacement if applicable. Follow manufacturer torque specifications for all fasteners during installation.
