What makes these brake pads quiet?

These pads feature multi-layer rubberized shims that are specifically designed to absorb vibration and minimize noise. The chamfered and slotted design also helps to ensure quiet operation during braking.

How quickly can I expect these pads to be ready for hard braking?

The Z16 Evolution pads have a thermal scorched surface. This process helps to prepare the pad material for a fast break-in period, meaning they'll reach their optimal stopping performance more quickly than un-scorched pads.

Do these brake pads come with new hardware?

This product listing is for the brake pads only. Hardware such as clips or shims may or may not be included, and it is recommended to refer to the manufacturer's packaging or installation instructions for details on what is included with your specific purchase.

Product Details

The multi-layer rubberized shims on these PowerStop Z16 Evolution ceramic brake pads are designed to make your braking experience quieter. They use a ceramic formula that's built to maximize stopping power while also cutting down on brake dust, which helps keep your wheels looking cleaner. This is a solid replacement option for a wide range of BMW and Saab vehicles, including models like the 1991 BMW 318i, the 1988 BMW 535i, and the 1995 Saab 9000.

PowerStop uses OE positive mold technology to ensure these pads wear consistently and perform reliably. The pad surface is thermal scorched, which helps speed up the break-in process so you can get to optimal performance faster. Plus, the powder-coated backing plate resists rust and corrosion, helping to extend the life of the pads.
