Detailed Product Features and Benefits

The NXT-1179 brake pad set incorporates carbon fiber ceramic friction material, which provides a stable friction coefficient and improved heat management compared to traditional organic or semi-metallic pads. The slotted design helps channel away dust and gases generated during braking, reducing the risk of brake fade and maintaining consistent stopping power. Both the outer and inner pads have a friction material thickness of 13.8 mm, contributing to longer service intervals.

Chamfered edges on the pads reduce the likelihood of noise and vibration during braking, enhancing overall driving comfort. The inclusion of mounting hardware and pad shims ensures a secure fit and helps prevent uneven wear or squealing. These pads are classified as performance grade, making them suitable for drivers who require dependable braking under more demanding conditions, such as spirited driving or occasional track use.
