Product Details

PowerStop NXT-698 is part of the Next Gen brake pad line, a premium friction series developed for luxury and performance passenger vehicles. The carbon fiber ceramic compound is tuned to deliver strong rear braking response while keeping noise and dust under control. Dual-Grip shim technology helps manage vibration at the pad-to-caliper interface, supporting a smoother brake pedal feel during daily driving.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application. It is a rear disc brake pad set for vehicles including the Chevrolet Impala and Pontiac Grand Prix, and it also serves select Buick and Oldsmobile applications listed in the fitment data. Part number NXT-698 is the reference to use when matching this rear brake service part.
