How do these brake pads help keep my wheels clean?

The Z16 Evolution pads use a special ceramic formula that is designed to produce significantly less brake dust than traditional pads. This means less dust will transfer to your wheels, helping them stay cleaner for longer.

What does 'thermal scorched' mean for the break-in process?

Thermal scorching is a manufacturing process where the pad surface is heated to a high temperature. This pre-conditions the pad material, helping to ensure a faster and more effective break-in period once installed on your vehicle.

Do these pads come with everything needed for installation?

These brake pads include multi-layer rubberized shims for noise reduction. It is always recommended to check the manufacturer's installation instructions for any additional hardware or supplies that may be needed for your specific vehicle.

Product Details

If you're looking to replace the front brake pads on your 2012 or 2013 Audi TT RS Quattro, the PowerStop Z16 Evolution ceramic pads are a solid option. These pads are built with a ceramic formula specifically chosen to give you strong stopping power while keeping your wheels cleaner by producing less brake dust. They're also designed to run quietly, so you won't have to worry about annoying squeaks.

PowerStop uses positive mold technology, which means they press the pad material into the mold under heat and pressure. This process helps ensure the pads wear evenly and perform consistently over their lifespan. The pad surface is also thermally scorched, which is a manufacturing step that helps speed up the break-in period, getting you to optimal performance faster. Plus, the backing plate is powder coated to resist rust and corrosion, helping to extend the life of the pad.

These pads come with multi-layer rubberized shims already attached, which are key to reducing noise. They're also chamfered and slotted to further help with quiet operation. They're intended as a direct replacement for your original equipment pads, making installation straightforward.
