The PowerStop Z16 Evolution Ceramic Brake Pads feature a ceramic formula designed to maximize stopping power while reducing brake dust & eliminating noise. The ceramic pads' low dust formula is validated through on-vehicle 3rd party tests in the USA. Using OE positive mold technology along with a thermal scorched pad surface, Z16 pads maintain consistent wear and performance while ensuring a fast break-in. The pads also feature dual layer high temperature rubberized shims that insulate noise for virtually silent braking. The Z16 Evolution ceramic brake pads are an affordable stock replacement for all vehicles.
