About the Power Stop Rear Next Gen Euro Carbon Fiber-Ceramic Brake Pads

The Power Stop - Rear Next Gen Euro Carbon Fiber-Ceramic Brake Pads with Hardware Kit are engineered to meet the demands of European vehicles requiring a performance-level brake pad. This product line focuses on combining carbon fiber ceramic friction material with a slotted pad design to enhance braking efficiency while controlling dust and noise. The inclusion of mounting hardware and pad shims ensures a straightforward installation process and proper pad alignment, making it a practical upgrade for rear brake systems on compatible Audi and Volkswagen models.

Detailed Product Description

These rear disc brake pads feature a 14.3 mm thickness on both the outer and inner friction surfaces, providing a substantial amount of material for longer service intervals. The carbon fiber ceramic composition offers a balance between effective braking performance and reduced brake dust compared to traditional semi-metallic pads. The slotted design helps to dissipate heat generated during braking, reducing the risk of brake fade under demanding conditions. Chamfered edges contribute to quieter operation by preventing pad edge chatter. This set includes all necessary mounting hardware and pad shims, ensuring proper fitment and ease of installation on vehicles such as the Audi A8 Quattro and Volkswagen R32.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or damaged rear brake pads on compatible Audi and Volkswagen models
• Improves braking consistency and reduces fade during performance driving
• Minimizes brake dust buildup on wheels for cleaner appearance
• Reduces brake noise through chamfered edges and quality friction material
• Provides a complete hardware kit to address installation needs and ensure proper pad fitment

Installation Notes and Tips

Before installation, verify compatibility with your specific Audi or Volkswagen model and year. The included mounting hardware and pad shims should be used to ensure correct pad positioning and secure attachment. It is recommended to inspect the brake rotors for wear or damage and resurface or replace them if necessary to maintain optimal braking performance. Proper bedding-in of the new pads after installation will help achieve consistent braking and extend pad life.
