What is the main benefit of the Z16 Evolution ceramic brake pads?

The main benefit is a combination of strong stopping power and reduced brake dust, keeping your wheels cleaner. They are also designed for quiet operation thanks to noise-reducing shims and chamfered/slotted pads.

How do these pads break in?

Product Details

If you're looking to replace the rear brake pads on a wide range of Audi and Volkswagen vehicles, the PowerStop Z16 Evolution ceramic pads are a solid option. These are designed to give you strong stopping power while keeping your wheels cleaner and reducing noise. They fit popular models like the Audi A3, Audi Q3, and Volkswagen Tiguan, among many others.

The ceramic formula used in these pads is specifically chosen to maximize stopping performance and minimize brake dust, which means less time spent cleaning your wheels. They also incorporate multi-layer rubberized shims that help absorb vibrations, leading to much quieter braking. PowerStop uses positive mold technology, which ensures the pads wear evenly and maintain their performance over time. Plus, the thermal scorching on the pad surface means they break in quickly, so you can feel the improved stopping power right away.

The backing plates on these pads are powder coated to resist rust and corrosion, helping them last longer even in damp conditions. This attention to detail means you get a well-built replacement part that's ready to go to work.
