Detailed Features of Power Stop Rear Z17 Brake Pads

The Power Stop - Rear Z17 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads with Hardware are engineered with ceramic friction material, which helps reduce brake dust buildup on wheels compared to traditional semi-metallic pads. The slotted design enhances heat dissipation during braking, which can help maintain consistent stopping power and reduce the risk of brake fade under demanding conditions. Both the outer and inner pads have a friction material thickness of 14.9 mm, providing substantial wear life for rear brake applications on the Kia Cadenza.
