Description of π₯ Power Stop Z17 Ceramic Brake Pads with Hardware (17-929) - Front
Low dust formula ceramic brake pads designed to keep those wheels clean. The Z17 Ceramic brake pad surfaces are thermal scorched for a fast break-in. Chamfered and slotted like OE pad to ensure noise-free braking. Designed for shorter break-in, better than OE. Include premium hardware kit for easy installation. Fit type: Vehicle Specific.
I ordered these pads and a pair of their calipers for my 2004 Outback. Everything went great, no surprises. The car stops for a dime and gives me nine cents in change!
Pros
Z17 ceramic brake pad surfaces heat treated for quick break-in
I've only had them for about 3 weeks, but already a noticeable difference: no annoying noise when braking. and while my wheels are not covered in black dust like some other brands. So far, so good!
Pros
Beveled and slotted pad like the original pads for quiet braking
I bought these for my 04 wrx they fit great on these pads. When changing pads, recommend using brake lube on the parts that come in contact with the gauge, excellent pads, love them
Ordered 16-929 pads and received a box with 16-898 pads inside. Above the part number 16-898 was a tag that said 16-929. The 16-898 inner pads did not fit my 2004 Forester XT because the pads were a different shape. Also, the Powerstop site is very confusing and makes it difficult or impossible to do a simple lateral search. It's a shame as I've had great experiences with Powerstop in the past. The last set ran great on my Galant VR-4
