Detailed Product Description

These rear disc brake pads are engineered with a carbon fiber ceramic friction material that balances performance and comfort. The 16.8 mm thickness on both outer and inner pads ensures durability and longer service intervals. Slotted pads help channel away heat and gases generated during braking, reducing the risk of brake fade under normal driving conditions. Chamfered edges contribute to quieter operation by preventing pad edge noise. The mechanical pad wear sensor alerts drivers when replacement is needed, helping maintain optimal braking safety. Included pad shims and brake lubricant facilitate proper installation and reduce noise and vibration.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or noisy rear brake pads on compatible Acura, Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC, Honda, and Rivian models
• Reducing brake dust accumulation on wheels for cleaner appearance
• Minimizing brake noise and vibration during daily driving
• Improving heat dissipation to prevent brake fade in stop-and-go traffic
• Ensuring timely brake maintenance with included mechanical wear sensors

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Power Stop Z23-2174 brake pads, ensure the mechanical wear sensor is properly connected to maintain accurate wear monitoring. Use the included brake lubricant on contact points to reduce noise and prevent corrosion. Verify that the chamfered edges align correctly with the rotor surface to avoid uneven wear. It is recommended to inspect rotors for wear or damage and replace or resurface as needed to optimize pad performance.
