If you need dependable rear brake pads that bolt on without modification and help keep wheels cleaner, the PowerStop Z17 (part 17-1393) is built for daily drivers.

The kit includes premium stainless-steel installation hardware so you get a complete swap-in solution for compatible Infiniti and Nissan models.

Will these pads fit my Infiniti or Nissan model?

These rear pads are formulated and packaged to match the factory mounting and dimensions for specific Infiniti and Nissan rear brake assemblies. Check the fitment list closely — the product covers many Infiniti Q50/Q60/Q70/QX models and a broad selection of Nissan vehicles including LEAF, Maxima, Rogue, and 370Z variants.

• Rear fitment for Infiniti EX35, FX35, Q40, Q50, Q60, Q70, QX50, QX60, QX70
• Several Nissan models supported: LEAF, 370Z, Maxima, Rogue, Sentra, Murano, Z Sport
• Confirm exact year and brake options (manual parking brake, rotor size) before purchase

How do Z17 ceramic pads perform during everyday driving?

Z17 pads prioritize quiet, consistent stopping power for commuting and routine use. Their ceramic compound produces less visible dust than many metallic alternatives, while chamfers and slots reduce squeal and help the pads bed in faster for predictable pedal response.

• Low-dust ceramic formula for cleaner wheels over time
• Chamfered and slotted faces for quiet engagement and faster break-in
• Thermal scorched surfaces to stabilize initial wear characteristics

What comes in the box and how easy is installation?

The kit ships with two rear Z17 ceramic brake pads and stainless-steel installation hardware. Because the parts are designed to OE dimensions, installation is a straightforward bolt-on replacement for someone comfortable with basic brake service or a professional mechanic.

• Complete rear pad set plus premium stainless-steel hardware included
• No machining or modification required — direct replacement
• Suitable for DIY installation with standard brake tools and safety precautions

What maintenance or expectations should I have after installing these pads?

Expect a short bed-in period where pad and rotor surfaces mate fully, during which braking feels most consistent. Routine inspection of pad thickness and rotor condition helps maximize life; the pads are covered by a PowerStop limited warranty for added confidence.

• Short break-in period recommended for optimal performance
• Inspect pad wear and rotors periodically to ensure safe operation
• Comes with a 12 month / 12,000 mile limited warranty for performance protection

Who this is for: The PowerStop Z17 rear ceramic set is aimed at drivers who want an OE-style, low-noise upgrade that reduces brake dust and installs without fuss. It suits daily commuters, owners of Infiniti and many Nissan models listed in the fitment, and anyone seeking a tidy balance of cleanliness, quiet, and dependable stopping for everyday road use. Always verify vehicle year and rear brake configuration before ordering to ensure correct fitment.
