Why Choose the PowerStop CRK8059 Kit?
Unlike basic replacement brake packages, the CRK8059 focuses on three key areas:
- Reducing brake dust
- Preventing rust and corrosion
- Maintaining OE-style braking comfort
The result is a cleaner, longer-lasting braking system that feels right at home on a daily-driven Maxima.
Z17 Clean Ride Ceramic Brake Pads
PowerStop’s Z17 ceramic pads are designed specifically for drivers who want smooth, quiet, dependable braking.
Low Dust Formula
One of the biggest benefits is reduced brake dust.
Compared to many factory pads, the Z17 compound helps:
- Keep wheels cleaner
- Reduce brake dust buildup
- Lower maintenance requirements
Quiet Operation
Dual-layer rubberized shims help eliminate:
- Brake squeal
- Vibrations
- Harsh braking noise
This creates a more refined driving experience.
Fast Break-In Performance
The pads are:
- Thermal scorched
- Chamfered
- Slotted
These features promote faster bedding-in and consistent braking performance.
GEOMET Fully Coated Rotors
The standout feature of the CRK8059 kit is PowerStop’s GEOMET-coated rotor technology.
Complete Rotor Protection
Unlike many aftermarket rotors that only coat visible surfaces, GEOMET coating protects:
- Rotor hats
- Rotor edges
- Cooling vanes
- Internal surfaces
This dramatically reduces rust formation.
Longer Rotor Life
The corrosion-resistant coating helps:
- Extend rotor lifespan
- Improve long-term appearance
- Reduce rust buildup in harsh climates
Perfect for Open Wheels
Many Nissan Maxima owners run factory alloy wheels or aftermarket wheels that expose brake components.
The silver GEOMET finish maintains a clean, premium appearance behind the wheel.
True-Cast Rotor Technology
PowerStop manufactures these rotors using its True-Cast process.
Benefits include:
- Precision casting
- Improved consistency
- Smooth braking operation
- Reduced vibration potential
This helps deliver OE-style comfort and reliability.
Real-World Benefits
Drivers upgrading to the CRK8059 kit typically experience:
Cleaner Wheels
The low-dust ceramic formula reduces visible brake dust accumulation.
Better Corrosion Resistance
GEOMET coating helps prevent the rust-covered appearance commonly seen on standard replacement rotors.
Quiet Braking
The combination of ceramic pads and premium shims helps minimize unwanted noise.
Complete Convenience
Everything required for installation arrives in one package.
