What’s Included?

One reason the KOE6497 remains popular among DIY mechanics is its complete package design.

Kit Contents

• 2 Front OE Replacement Rotors
• 2 Rear OE Replacement Rotors
• Front Z17 Ceramic Brake Pads
• Rear Z17 Ceramic Brake Pads
• Stainless Steel Installation Hardware
• Noise-Reducing Rubberized Shims

Everything is engineered to work together, eliminating compatibility concerns that can occur when mixing components from different manufacturers.

PowerStop Z17 Ceramic Brake Pads

The centerpiece of this kit is PowerStop’s Z17 ceramic brake compound.

Benefits of Z17 Pads

• Low brake dust
• Quiet braking performance
• Consistent stopping power
• Reduced rotor wear
• Smooth pedal feel

Many factory brake systems create excessive dust buildup on wheels. The Z17 compound helps minimize that issue while maintaining dependable braking performance.

For daily-driven family SUVs, that’s a major advantage.

OE-Style Rotors

The included rotors are designed as direct factory replacements.

Rotor Features

• Precision-machined surfaces
• OE-style dimensions
• Factory-correct fitment
• Smooth braking performance
• Reliable heat management

Unlike drilled and slotted performance rotors, these are focused on durability, comfort, and predictable everyday operation.

Quiet Braking Technology

Few things are more annoying than squealing brakes on a family vehicle.

PowerStop addresses this with:

Noise Reduction Features

• Rubberized shims
• Chamfered pad edges
• Slotted pad design
• Precision-machined rotor surfaces

The result is a noticeably quieter braking experience compared to many economy brake kits.

Daily Driver Focus

The KOE6497 is not intended as a performance brake package.

Instead, it’s engineered for:

Ideal Usage

• Daily commuting
• Family transportation
• Highway travel
• School runs
• Long-distance road trips

For owners of Pathfinders, Muranos, and QX60s, that’s exactly where this brake kit shines.

Cleaner Wheels

One of the most appreciated benefits of ceramic brake pads is reduced dust production.

Compared to many factory compounds, the Z17 pads help:

• Keep wheels cleaner
• Reduce cleaning frequency
• Minimize brake residue buildup
• Maintain a cleaner vehicle appearance

It’s a small upgrade that many owners notice immediately.

Easy Installation

PowerStop designed the KOE6497 as a direct bolt-on replacement.

Installation Benefits

• No modifications required
• Uses factory mounting locations
• Hardware included
• Compatible with stock brake systems

Most experienced DIYers can complete installation in a single afternoon using standard brake service tools.
