This product line is designed to meet the braking demands of Nissan Frontier and Xterra vehicles, offering a reliable upgrade for front disc brake systems.

Detailed Product Description

These Power Stop brake pads feature a 15.4 mm thickness on both outer and inner friction materials, providing substantial pad life and consistent braking force. The slotted design enhances heat dissipation and helps channel away dust and gases generated during braking, reducing the risk of brake fade. Chamfered edges contribute to quieter operation by minimizing vibration and noise. The ceramic composition offers stable friction performance across a wide temperature range, making these pads suitable for everyday driving conditions. Included mounting hardware and pad shims simplify the installation process and help maintain proper pad alignment.
