How do I break in these Power Stop Z16 brake pads?

These pads feature a thermal scorched surface for a fast break-in. For best results, perform a series of moderate stops from 35 mph down to 10 mph without coming to a complete halt. Repeat this 5-10 times, allowing a short cool-down period between sets. Avoid hard panic stops during the initial break-in period.

Will these pads create a lot of brake dust?

No, the Z16 Evolution ceramic formula is specifically designed to be a low-dust option. This means you should see a noticeable reduction in brake dust compared to standard pads, helping to keep your wheels cleaner.

Do these brake pads come with new hardware?

This specific part number includes the brake pads with powder-coated backing plates and multi-layer rubberized shims. It is recommended to inspect and replace any hardware, such as clips and pins, if they show signs of wear or corrosion during installation.

Product Details

If you're looking to replace the front brake pads on your Audi 200 or a range of BMW models from the late 80s and 90s, these Z16 Evolution ceramic pads from Power Stop are a solid option. They're built to give you strong stopping power while cutting down on that annoying brake dust that coats your wheels.

These pads use a ceramic formula that's designed to work well and keep things quiet, thanks to multi-layer rubberized shims and chamfered/slotted edges. The positive mold technology means they'll wear more consistently, and the thermal scorched surface helps them bed in quickly so you can get back to driving sooner. The backing plate is powder coated to resist rust, which helps them last longer.
