The inclusion of mechanical pad wear sensors and precision-engineered features like slotted pads and chamfered edges supports consistent brake pad wear and improved heat dissipation.

Product Details and Features

This disc brake pad set, part number NXT-2170, is designed for the front brakes of the Subaru Ascent. The carbon fiber ceramic friction material offers a balance of performance and durability, with outer and inner pad thicknesses of 16.4 mm and 16.8 mm respectively, ensuring extended service life. The slotted pads help channel dust and gases away from the friction surface, reducing brake fade under demanding conditions. Chamfered edges minimize noise and vibration during braking. The included mechanical pad wear sensor provides a reliable alert system to indicate when replacement is necessary. Additionally, the kit comes with mounting hardware and pad shims to facilitate proper installation and reduce brake noise.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement of worn or damaged front brake pads on Subaru Ascent models
• Improving brake response and reducing fade during performance driving
