PowerStop Front Brake Pads Z17 Ceramic — Nissan Altima 2013–25 & LEAF 2014–17, low-dust quiet kit with hardware

These PowerStop Z17 Evolution ceramic pads are built as a dependable upgrade to original-equipment front pads for many Nissan Altima (2013–2025) and Nissan LEAF (2014–2017) applications. The kit contains the front Z17 ceramic pads plus premium stainless-steel hardware so you can replace pads quickly without extra parts. The pads combine a low-dust ceramic formulation with chamfers, slots, and rubberized shims to reduce noise and speed break-in while maintaining consistent everyday stopping power.

How do these pads improve everyday braking performance?

The Z17 compound focuses on smooth, predictable pedal feel and controlled stopping for daily driven vehicles. Thermal treatment and precision shaping help the pads bed in faster so you get stable performance soon after installation.

• Low-dust ceramic formula reduces wheel contamination and cleaning frequency
• Chamfered and slotted faces minimize harsh contact and assist gas/debris evacuation
• Thermally processed material for consistent friction and fade resistance

Will these fit my vehicle and is installation difficult?

This kit is made as a direct front pad replacement for specified Nissan Altima model years and certain Nissan LEAF builds; no machining or caliper modifications are needed. The included stainless-steel installation hardware replaces worn clips and makes the swap a straightforward bolt-on job for experienced DIYers or technicians.

• Includes two front Z17 ceramic pads and all stainless-steel mounting hardware
• Bolt-on fit for listed Altima and LEAF model years—confirm fitment before purchase
• Designed for quick, do-it-yourself pad replacement with common hand tools

How do these pads affect noise, dust, and wheel appearance?

Rubberized multi-layer shims and the ceramic formulation are selected to dampen vibration and reduce audible squeal compared with many semi-metallic pads. The low-dust characteristic helps preserve wheel finishes so the vehicle looks cleaner between washes.

• Multi-layer rubberized shims for quieter operation
• Low dust output to cut down on wheel grime and brake residue
• Slotted surfaces help clear pad material and maintain consistent contact

What warranty and value do these pads offer?

PowerStop backs the Z17 pads with a limited performance protection warranty to give added confidence in everyday use. The set is positioned as a sensible, cost-effective alternative to OE pads, combining reliable braking characteristics with included hardware for a complete front replacement.
