Designed specifically for Nissan and INFINITI models such as the Armada, Pathfinder Armada, QX56, and TITAN, these ceramic disc brake pads offer a balance of performance and durability.
- Compatible with Nissan Armada, Pathfinder Armada, TITAN and INFINITI QX56
- Durable ceramic friction material with 17.5 mm thickness on both inner and outer pads
- Includes mechanical pad wear sensors for timely maintenance alerts
- Slotted and chamfered edges to reduce noise and improve pad bedding
- Comes with pad shims to minimize vibration and enhance braking smoothness
Detailed Features and Specifications
The Power Stop - Front Z16 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads feature a ceramic friction material composition that provides consistent braking performance while generating less dust compared to traditional semi-metallic pads. Both the inner and outer pads have a friction material thickness of 17.5 mm, ensuring extended pad life. The pads are slotted to help dissipate heat and gases during braking, which contributes to reduced brake fade and improved stopping power. Chamfered edges further reduce noise and prevent uneven pad wear. Included pad shims help to dampen vibrations, resulting in quieter operation. Additionally, the mechanical pad wear sensors alert drivers when it’s time to replace the pads, helping maintain optimal brake system performance.
