What is the main benefit of the Z16 Evolution ceramic formula?

The Z16 Evolution ceramic brake pads are designed to maximize stopping power while significantly reducing brake dust and eliminating noise. This means cleaner wheels and a quieter driving experience compared to standard pads.

Do these brake pads come with everything needed for installation?

This product includes the rear brake pads. It is recommended to inspect your existing hardware and rotors, and replace them if necessary, as hardware is not always included with brake pad sets.

Product Details

You're getting a set of PowerStop Z16 Evolution ceramic brake pads, designed for the rear of a wide range of vehicles including many Audi and Volkswagen models. These pads are built to give you strong stopping power while keeping your wheels cleaner and your ride quieter than stock pads.

The ceramic formula is key here, helping to reduce brake dust significantly, which means less time spent cleaning your wheels. They also incorporate multi-layer rubberized shims and are chamfered and slotted to help eliminate annoying brake noise. PowerStop uses positive mold technology, which ensures the pads wear evenly and perform consistently over their lifespan. Plus, the thermal scorching on the pad surface means they're ready to go right out of the box with a fast break-in period, so you don't have to worry about a long adjustment time before you can rely on them.

The backing plate on these pads is powder coated to resist rust and corrosion, adding to their overall durability and lifespan. If you're looking for an affordable stock replacement that offers improved dust and noise characteristics, these are a solid option.
