About the Power Stop Front Z17 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads with Hardware

The Power Stop - Front Z17 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads with Hardware line focuses on delivering a balance between performance and cleanliness. These pads utilize ceramic friction material that generates less brake dust compared to traditional semi-metallic pads, helping to keep wheels cleaner. The inclusion of mounting hardware and pad shims ensures a secure fit and reduces installation time. The slotted design enhances heat dissipation, which can help maintain consistent braking performance under normal driving conditions.

Product Features and Benefits

These brake pads feature a 16.0 mm thickness on both outer and inner friction surfaces, providing ample material for extended service life. Chamfered edges help minimize noise and vibration during braking. The slotted pads improve heat management, reducing the risk of brake fade. Included mounting hardware and pad shims simplify the installation process and help maintain proper pad alignment. While these pads do not include a pad wear sensor, they are engineered for performance-grade braking suitable for Dodge B1500, Durango, Ram 1500, and Ram 1500 Van vehicles.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or damaged front disc brake pads on compatible Dodge models
• Reduction of brake dust accumulation on wheels
