Construction & Design:
The Z16 Evolution pads feature a premium ceramic friction material formulated to provide smooth, consistent braking performance under a wide range of driving conditions. The ceramic compound generates less dust compared to traditional semi-metallic pads, helping to maintain wheel appearance and reduce cleaning frequency.
The backing plates are powder coated to prevent rust and corrosion, ensuring the pads maintain structural integrity and fitment precision over time.
