Review on ๐Ÿ”ฅ Upgrade Your Braking Efficiency with Power Stop 16-1252 Z16 Evolution Front Ceramic Brake Pads by Fernando Beck

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Significantly less dust and better than the OEM pedal

Due to the significant amount of brake dust I wanted to replace the original pads on my 2008 fortwo. They literally destroyed my front windows. I've used ceramic pads in the past and have been very happy with the dust-free and durability. However, I generally found slightly less grip when the brakes were cold. I came across these pads at Revain but couldn't find any specific smart car reviews. However, there were many very positive reviews from owners of other brands/models. I've risked it and can say that Power Stops are better than OEM, grip better than OEM cold or hot, and they're very quiet. Brake dust is much smaller and light gray in color. I have combined them with the new Raybestos Professional Rotorset (980806R) and am very happy with the combination. UPDATE - 11./14. June The pads still work very well and the brake dust reduction is incredible compared to the OEM pads.

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • I vaguely remember
