Technical Features and Benefits

The Power Stop 17-1801 brake pads feature a ceramic friction material composition that offers stable friction performance and reduced brake dust compared to traditional semi-metallic pads. Both the inner and outer pads have a friction material thickness of 17.2 mm, providing ample material for extended service life. The pads are slotted to help dissipate heat and gases generated during braking, which can improve pad performance and reduce brake fade. Chamfered edges help minimize noise and vibration, contributing to a quieter braking experience. Included mounting hardware and pad shims facilitate proper installation and alignment, ensuring optimal pad contact and wear.
