PowerStop NXT-888 Disc Brake Pad Set - Front

Front Carbon Fiber-Ceramic Brake Pads

PowerStop NXT-888 front brake pads are built for luxury and performance passenger vehicles that need consistent stopping power with everyday drivability. The carbon fiber ceramic friction formula is tuned for low dust output, while the slotted, chamfered pad design and Dual-Grip shim technology help promote smooth, quiet braking.

Compatible with select Nissan 370Z, INFINITI G37, and INFINITI Q70 front brake applications, these pads are a direct-fit option for drivers replacing worn OE-style front disc pads on performance-oriented street vehicles.

Key Features

• Carbon fiber ceramic friction material for balanced braking performance and low dust
• Slotted pad design helps manage heat and maintain consistent contact
• Chamfered edges support quieter operation
• Dual-Grip shim technology helps reduce disc thickness variation and pedal pulsation
• Mechanical pad wear sensor included
• Stainless-steel mounting hardware included
• Performance-grade front disc brake pad set
• PowerStop NXT-888 front brake pads

Detailed Product Overview

The Power Stop Next Gen line focuses on premium ceramic brake pad construction for drivers who want refined street manners without giving up braking response. On this NXT-888 application, the carbon fiber ceramic compound is paired with shims and a slotted, chamfered profile to help reduce noise, support even pad wear, and maintain a smooth pedal feel. The pad thickness is 15.3 mm for both inner and outer pads, and the included mechanical wear sensor supports service monitoring on equipped vehicles.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application. Fits 2009-2013 INFINITI G37, front; Fits 2008-2009 Nissan 350Z, front; Fits 2014-2019 INFINITI Q70, front with 320mm front rotor. PowerStop NXT-888 is also listed for additional front applications including Nissan 370Z, INFINITI QX70, INFINITI Q40, INFINITI QX50, Murano, Pathfinder, G35, EX35, EX37, G25, M35, M45, M35h, M37, M56, and Q45 in the years shown in the fitment data.

What This Part Helps Address

• Worn front brake pads causing reduced stopping performance
• Brake noise from aged or uneven pad material
• Pedal pulsation related to disc thickness variation
• Excess brake dust from older friction compounds
• Loss of consistent braking feel on daily-driven performance vehicles

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rotor size, caliper type, and trim-specific notes before installation. This front pad set is listed for applications such as 2019-2020 Nissan 370Z front, 2009-2013 INFINITI G37 front with 320mm front rotor, and 2014-2019 INFINITI Q70 front with 320mm front rotor. Inspect rotors, caliper hardware, and wear sensors during service, and clean the braking surfaces before bedding in the new pads according to standard brake service procedures.

Quality Assurance

PowerStop positions the Next Gen brake pad line as a premium friction solution for luxury and performance passenger vehicles. The NXT-888 uses a carbon fiber ceramic formula, stainless-steel hardware, and shim technology to support consistent street braking performance and refined operation.
