Power Stop Brake Pads - Z16 Pad Tested

Z16 CERAMIC BRAKE PADS
http://www.powerstop.com/products



Power Stop’s Evolution ceramic is the fastest growing line of brake pads in North America. Professional technicians prefer Evolution ceramic pads for problem free installations and no come-backs. Our brake pads are engineered for noise free braking with dual rubber backed shims that offer 6 times more noise reduction than plain steel shims. The pad surfaces are thermal scorched for fast break-in. Evolution pads feature a true ceramic formula that keeps wheels cleaner, and won’t wear-out the rotors. Power Stop pads have 20% more stopping power than other leading brands. The premium carbon-ceramic compound is made using OE positive mold technology, that assures a uniform friction density throughout the pad and this helps control noise and premature wear. Evolution pads are manufactured under TS16949 standards to OEM specifications including chamfers and slots.
About $25 each.
POWER STOP Part # 16866
POWER STOP Part # 161037

0.34 drag coefficient

Installed on new Centric rotors on all 4 corners. 500 miles on this setup and bedded. For the $125 I have invested in all new pads and rotors - I like it.

Brake pedal has a firm feel to it. Nice stopping bite in all temperatures. No noises. Stopping bite is linear and consistent. No dust visible at this time.

Would I road race on these? No. But I would run these as a daily driver setup.
