Construction & Design:

The Z16 Evolution pads feature a ceramic friction material that balances performance with longevity and cleanliness. The ceramic compound is engineered to produce less brake dust compared to traditional semi-metallic pads, helping to maintain the appearance of your wheels. The backing plates are powder coated to resist rust and corrosion, ensuring the pads maintain structural integrity and fitment precision throughout their lifespan.

Additionally, the pads incorporate multi-layer rubberized shims that absorb vibrations and reduce noise, while the chamfered edges and slots help dissipate heat and prevent uneven wear. The thermal scorched surface treatment accelerates the bedding-in process, allowing you to experience optimal braking performance shortly after installation.
