About the Power Stop Front Next Gen Carbon Fiber-Ceramic Brake Pads

This product is part of the Power Stop - Front Next Gen Carbon Fiber-Ceramic Brake Pads with Hardware Kit line, which focuses on delivering performance-grade braking components. The carbon fiber ceramic composition enhances heat dissipation and reduces brake dust compared to traditional pads. The inclusion of a hardware kit and pad shims ensures a secure fit and helps minimize vibration and noise during braking.

Product Features and Benefits

The NXT-1896 brake pads are designed with both performance and vehicle compatibility in mind. The slotted design helps channel away dust and gases, improving pad contact and braking efficiency.
