Power Stop 06-09 Audi A3 Rear Z16 Evolution Ceramic Brake Pads

If you're looking to replace the rear brake pads on a wide range of Audi and Volkswagen models, the PowerStop Z16 Evolution ceramic pads are a solid option. These pads are designed to offer a significant improvement over standard factory pads, especially when it comes to reducing brake dust and keeping your wheels looking cleaner. They fit vehicles like the Audi A3, A4, A6, TT, and Volkswagen GTI, Jetta, and Passat, among many others.

What sets these pads apart is their ceramic formula, which is specifically chosen to maximize stopping power while also minimizing the annoying dust that often accumulates on wheels. PowerStop uses positive mold technology, which means they press the pad material into the mold, ensuring consistent density and performance across the entire pad surface. This also contributes to more even wear over time. Plus, the pads are thermally scorched, which helps to speed up the break-in process so you can get to enjoying their full performance sooner. They also come with multi-layer rubberized shims that help absorb vibration, making for a much quieter braking experience.

The backing plates on these pads are powder coated to resist rust and corrosion, which helps them last longer, especially in areas where road salt is used. They are also chamfered and slotted, which further helps to ensure quiet operation and proper pad-to-rotor contact. These are a great choice for everyday driving when you want improved stopping performance without the noise or excessive dust of some other pad types.
