Why Choose the PowerStop Z17 Series?

The Z17 Evolution Series is built specifically for daily-driven vehicles.

Rather than focusing on racing or aggressive track performance, PowerStop designed this brake package to improve:

• Everyday stopping power
• Ride comfort
• Brake noise reduction
• Brake dust control
• Long-term reliability

For most Murano, Pathfinder, and QX60 owners, these benefits matter far more than track-day capability.

Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads

One of the biggest advantages of the KOE6497 kit is its ceramic brake pad formula.

Cleaner Wheels

The Z17 ceramic compound produces significantly less dust than many traditional semi-metallic brake pads.

Benefits include:

• Cleaner wheels
• Reduced brake residue
• Less maintenance
• Better wheel appearance

Your wheels stay cleaner between washes, which is something every SUV owner appreciates.

Quiet Braking Performance

Nobody enjoys squeaky brakes.

PowerStop incorporates several noise-reducing features:

• Chamfered pad edges
• Precision slotting
• Multi-layer rubberized shims
• Thermal-scorched pad surfaces

Together, these components help create smooth and quiet braking performance.

OE Replacement Rotors

The included rotors are designed to restore original braking feel and performance.

Precision Machining

Each rotor is manufactured to strict tolerances for:

• Consistent braking
• Smooth pedal feel
• Reduced vibration
• Proper pad contact

Mill-Balanced Design

Mill balancing helps minimize:

• Rotor pulsation
• Steering wheel vibration
• Uneven braking behavior

The result is a more comfortable driving experience.

Fast Break-In Performance

The thermal scorching process used on Z17 brake pads helps accelerate bedding and break-in.

Benefits include:

• Faster pad seating
• Improved initial performance
• Reduced break-in time
• Consistent braking feel sooner after installation

Ideal for Family SUVs

The vehicles covered by the KOE6497 are often used for:

• Family transportation
• Daily commuting
• School drop-offs
• Vacation travel
• Grocery runs
• Weekend road trips

This brake kit is engineered specifically around those demands.

Drivers can expect:

• Smooth braking response
• Predictable stopping performance
• Excellent durability
• Quiet operation
• Reduced dust buildup

Why Replace Pads and Rotors Together?

Many technicians recommend replacing both components at the same time.

Benefits Include

• Improved braking consistency
• Better pad wear patterns
• Reduced vibration risk
• Longer service life
• Simplified installation

A complete kit often provides better value than purchasing components separately.
