What is the benefit of ceramic brake pads?

Ceramic brake pads are known for producing less dust than traditional semi-metallic pads, which helps keep your wheels cleaner. They are also designed to operate more quietly and offer consistent stopping performance.

What does 'thermal scorched' mean for brake pads?

Thermal scorching is a process where the pad surface is heated to a high temperature. This helps to clean the pad surface and prepare it for immediate use, leading to a faster and more effective break-in period.

Does this brake pad set include everything needed for installation?

This set includes four Z16 Evolution ceramic brake pads and an integral electronic wear sensor. It is designed as a direct replacement for your OE pads. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for any additional hardware or procedures.

Product Details

You get a set of four Z16 Evolution ceramic brake pads, designed to keep your wheels looking cleaner and stop your vehicle with more confidence. These pads use a special ceramic formula that's made to give you strong stopping power while cutting down on brake dust and noise. They are a direct replacement for your stock pads, making them a straightforward choice for getting your car back on the road safely.

PowerStop uses positive mold technology, which means they press the pad material into the mold under heat and pressure. This helps ensure the pads wear evenly and perform consistently over their lifespan. The pad surface is also thermal-scorched, which is a process that helps speed up the break-in period so you can get to full stopping performance faster. Plus, they come with multi-layer rubberized shims that are designed to absorb vibration and make braking virtually noise-free. The backing plates are powder-coated to resist rust and corrosion, helping to extend the life of the pads.

This set includes an integral electronic wear sensor, so you'll know when it's time to replace them. They fit a wide range of vehicles, including many Audi A3, Volkswagen Jetta, and Volkswagen GTI models.
