Construction & Design:

The Z16 Evolution pads feature a premium ceramic friction material that balances performance with comfort. Ceramic compounds are known for their stability under a wide range of temperatures, providing consistent braking power without the harshness sometimes associated with metallic pads. The backing plates are powder coated to prevent rust and corrosion, ensuring the pads maintain structural integrity over time.

Additionally, the pads are engineered with multi-layer rubberized shims that absorb vibrations and reduce noise, while the chamfered and slotted design helps to dissipate heat and prevent uneven wear. This thoughtful construction results in a brake pad that performs reliably in everyday driving conditions and maintains a quiet operation.
