Review on πŸ”’ Enhance Safety and Performance with Power Stop K2279 Front Z23 Carbon Fiber Brake Pads and Drilled & Slotted Brake Rotors Kit by Josh Schaefer

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect! for brake system

I bought this kit for my wife's 2003 Pathfinder. Installation is relatively easy, but I make a living with wrenches, so bear that in mind. If you are less experienced or not very mechanically savvy, I would advise having a mechanic do the installation. You have to remove the drive hub to do a rotor swap, which can result in some of them being over your head. I actually spent more time looking for torque specs than this project's screwdriver, as the Nissan factory repair manual clearly states not to use an impact wrench during the build process to prevent the rotor from being warped or warped. I have used Power Stop one click products. before that on my son's Civic '96. I did this two years ago and the rotors still look like new. This is proof of the quality of the product. My son brakes hard and brakes so late (I taught him how!), and after two winters in NorCal still no rust on the rotors. I expect the same from the kit I just installed on Pathfinder. Performance is noticeably better than stock parts, especially on hard stops. The bite is not aggressive but extremely linear and progressive. In other words, as a driver, I feel a direct correlation between what I feel on the pedal and what happens when I brake. The application is stable and smooth, without jerking, squeaking and damping. Just always a smooth, progressive app. Even on the other end of the spectrum, a light application results in a linear stop feel. Standard brakes have never been so good. Always felt too aggressive on the first bite like stepping on the brakes even if you just needed a slight nudge. Kit needs to be replaced. These brakes are excellent and exceed all expectations. The best brake for the money.

Pros
  • Nice to use
