Product Details

Power Stop is known for making brake kits that offer a noticeable improvement over stock. These Z16 Evolution ceramic brake pads are a prime example, designed to give your 2015-2018 Audi Q3 a solid upgrade in stopping performance. They use a special ceramic formula that's made to boost your stopping power while keeping brake dust to a minimum, so your wheels stay cleaner. Plus, they're engineered to cut down on noise, making your daily drive more comfortable.

What's neat about these pads is how they're made. They use positive mold technology, which means they'll wear evenly and perform consistently over their lifespan. The thermal scorched surface helps them break in quickly, so you get that improved stopping power right away without a long bedding-in period. They also come with multi-layer rubberized shims and are chamfered and slotted to ensure they operate quietly, even during harder stops. The powder-coated backing plate is a nice touch too, helping to resist rust and corrosion and extend the life of the pad.

These pads are a direct replacement for your factory pads, and they even include an integral electronic wear sensor to let you know when it's time for a change. If you're looking for a way to improve your Q3's braking feel and keep those wheels looking sharp, these Z16 pads are a well-built option.
