Performance Front Brake Caliper Set

PowerStop S1218 is a performance disc brake caliper set built for direct replacement service on select Nissan and INFINITI applications. It uses a floating caliper design with a cast iron body, red powder-coated finish, and a 57.10 mm piston for consistent brake response.

Key Features

  • Direct-fit replacement caliper set for compatible front brake applications
  • Floating caliper design with cast iron construction
  • High-temperature red powder-coated finish for corrosion resistance
  • Includes caliper slides and mounting bracket
  • Pressure tested for piston operation and leak prevention
  • Assembled with new pistons, seals, dust boots, bleeder screws, and stainless steel pad abutment clips

Detailed Description

PowerStop S1218 is engineered as a direct replacement for front brake service on 1989-2006 Nissan Maxima, 1993-2001 Nissan Altima, 1996-1999 INFINITI I30, and 2000-2006 Nissan Sentra applications. The remanufactured caliper body and bracket are finished in high-temperature red powder coating to help resist rust and simplify cleaning, while the steel piston and EPDM dust boots are selected for durability in demanding braking conditions. PowerStop S1218 is pressure tested to verify piston movement and help prevent leaks, making it a practical choice for restoring brake function and appearance on Nissan Maxima, Nissan Altima, INFINITI I30, and Nissan Sentra vehicles.

Common Issues This Part Can Address

  • Sticking or uneven caliper piston movement
  • Brake fluid leakage at the caliper
  • Corrosion on the caliper body or bracket
  • Worn slide components affecting brake feel
  • Reduced braking performance from a failing front caliper
