Detailed Features and Benefits

The Power Stop - Front Z17 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads with Hardware are engineered with a ceramic friction material composition that provides stable braking performance while generating less dust compared to traditional semi-metallic pads. The slotted design helps channel away heat and gases produced during braking, which can reduce brake fade and maintain consistent pedal feel. Chamfered edges on the pads help reduce noise and vibration, contributing to a quieter braking experience. Both the outer and inner pads have a friction material thickness of 14.7 mm, supporting longer service intervals. This disc brake pad set also includes mounting hardware and pad shims, ensuring a proper fit and simplifying the installation process.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

This disc brake pad set is compatible with a range of vehicles including Chrysler 929, Dodge Conquest, Mazda Pickup, Mitsubishi Starion, Plymouth Cressida, and Toyota Tacoma models. The part number 17-389 is specifically designed to meet the braking requirements of these vehicles, providing a direct replacement that maintains factory specifications.

• Reduces brake dust buildup on wheels
• Improves braking consistency under normal and performance driving conditions
