Construction & Design:
The Z16 Evolution pads feature a ceramic-based friction material that combines durability with quiet operation. Ceramic compounds are known for producing less brake dust compared to semi-metallic pads, helping to keep wheels cleaner. The pads are manufactured using OE positive mold technology, ensuring each pad matches the exact shape and size specifications of the original equipment. This precision fitment reduces vibration and uneven wear.
Additionally, the thermal scorched surface treatment enhances the pad’s ability to bed in quickly, improving initial braking feel and maintaining consistent performance throughout the pad’s lifespan. The backing plates are engineered to resist corrosion and maintain structural integrity under high temperatures.
Performance & Sound
These ceramic brake pads deliver smooth and predictable braking performance with minimal noise. The advanced friction formula reduces the likelihood of squeals and vibrations commonly associated with lower-quality pads. Drivers can expect a quiet, confident braking experience whether navigating city streets or highway driving.
