Professional technicians prefer Power Stop Z16 Evolution clean ride ceramic pads for problem-free installations and no come-backs. Power Stop brake pads are engineered for noise-free braking with dual rubber backed shims that offer 6 times more noise reduction than plain steel shims. The pad surfaces are thermal scorched for fast break-in. These pads feature a true ceramic formula that keeps wheels cleaner and won't wear out the rotors. Power Stop pads have 20 percent more stopping power than other leading brands. Their premium carbon-ceramic compound is made using OE positive mold technology that ensures a uniform friction density throughout the pad, which helps to control noise and premature wear. Power Stop Z16 Evolution pads are manufactured under TS16949 standards to OEM specifications, including chamfers and slots.
