Product Line Details: Power Stop Front Z17 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads

The Power Stop - Front Z17 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads with Hardware are part of Power Stop's performance-grade brake pad line. This line focuses on delivering consistent stopping power while minimizing brake dust and noise. The inclusion of hardware and mechanical wear sensors ensures a complete and reliable replacement solution tailored for front disc brake systems on compatible Saab and Saturn vehicles.

Technical Features and Benefits

These brake pads feature a ceramic friction material composition that offers stable braking performance and reduced dust compared to traditional semi-metallic pads. The pads are slotted to help dissipate heat and gases generated during braking, which can improve pad life and reduce brake fade. Chamfered edges reduce noise and vibration for a smoother braking experience. Both the outer and inner pads have a friction material thickness of 18.6 mm, providing substantial wear life. The included mechanical pad wear sensor alerts drivers when pad replacement is needed, helping maintain safe braking conditions. Mounting hardware and pad shims are supplied to facilitate proper installation and reduce noise.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or damaged front disc brake pads on Saab 9-3 and 9-5 models
• Suitable for Saturn L100, L200, L300, LS series, and LW series vehicles requiring front disc brake pad replacement
• Addresses issues with excessive brake dust buildup on wheels
• Helps reduce brake noise and vibration through chamfered edges and shims
• Maintains consistent braking performance under normal and performance driving conditions

Installation Notes and Tips

• Ensure compatibility with your specific Saab or Saturn model before installation
• Use the included mounting hardware and pad shims for proper fit and noise reduction
