Review on πŸ” Enhanced Performance: Power Stop 16-465 Z16 Evolution Front Ceramic Brake Pads by Jonah Koehnke

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Medium brake pads for braking system

Installed on an 8th generation Honda Civic about 6 months ago; And as a city driver I noticed the following: 1. Although these front pads do not come with mounting hardware, they are easy to mount, in other words, they fit perfectly.2. In fact, they are quiet if a large amount of pad lubricant is used during installation.3. The low-dust ceramic formula doesn't mean you won't see dust on your wheels. These pads are only average (compared to other ceramic brakes like Wagner ThermoQuiet brakes) when it comes to carbon fiber particle buildup on the rims. They wear decent enough like other ceramic brakes I've used in the past. In terms of "stopping power" as specified by the manufacturer, I did not notice any difference to the previously installed ceramic pads that I installed. Although quiet and easy to install, these are average ceramic pads for the price. Just note that they don't come with mounting hardware that some other brands may offer. About 6 months after installation, they function like all other brake pads.

Pros
  • High marks for grip and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options
