Product Line Details

The Power Stop - Front Next Gen Carbon Fiber-Ceramic Brake Pads with Hardware Kit are part of Power Stop's performance-grade product line. This line focuses on delivering enhanced braking performance through advanced friction materials and design features such as slotted pads and chamfered edges. The inclusion of a mechanical pad wear sensor and all necessary mounting hardware ensures compatibility and ease of installation for vehicles like the Hyundai Sonata and Kia Sportage.

Technical Description and Features

These brake pads utilize carbon fiber ceramic friction material, which provides stable friction characteristics and reduced brake dust compared to traditional materials. The pads are slotted to help dissipate heat and gases generated during braking, which can improve pad life and reduce brake fade. Chamfered edges minimize noise and vibration, contributing to a smoother braking experience. Both the outer and inner pads have a friction material thickness of 15.3 mm, supporting longer intervals between replacements. The included mechanical pad wear sensor alerts drivers when pad replacement is necessary, helping maintain safe braking performance.
