Review on πŸ”₯ Upgrade Your Braking Efficiency with Power Stop 16-1252 Z16 Evolution Front Ceramic Brake Pads by Tim Blandin

Revainrating 4 out of 5

These pads were easy enough to install and work great

These pads were easy enough to install and work great. I do notice a slight creaking when the rotors are a bit rusty, but it goes away after a stop or two. The main disadvantage is that they do not come with springs, which means that old springs are reused. This turned out to be the worst part of my braking job. Removing the old springs and putting them back into these pads took almost as long as replacing the pads themselves. If I do this job again, I get pads with springs (pre-installed if possible). Now that summer is here I don't drive as much as I did earlier this year so it's probably too early to tell. no reduction in brake dust accumulation but so far my front discs still look clean. I made a video on Youtube about my work with the brakes. You can find it by searching "smart brakes" on Youtube. I'm denb7!
