How do these Z17 ceramic pads improve everyday braking?

The Z17 formulation focuses on consistent, quiet stopping during routine driving. Chamfered edges and slots emulate OE geometry for controlled engagement and faster bedding-in, while the ceramic compound produces less visible dust compared with many semi-metallic pads.

• Chamfered and slotted surface for predictable pedal feel and reduced glazing
• Low-dust ceramic material for cleaner wheels over time
• Rubberized multi-layer shims that dampen vibration and minimize squeal
• Thermal scorch and break-in help shorten bedding period
