Maintain Stopping Power with Quality Brake Pads
Any automobile aficionado knows there's plenty of options when buying car parts online, but Alpine Nissan of Denver is the best. Brake pads create the friction necessary to stop your vehicle safely in all conditions. These wear components gradually thin as you drive and eventually require replacement. We carry genuine Nissan brake pads formulated to provide consistent stopping power without excessive noise or dust.
How Brake Pads Stop Your Vehicle
Brake pads contain friction material bonded to metal backing plates. When you apply the brakes, hydraulic pressure forces the pads against rotating brake rotors. This contact generates friction that converts kinetic energy into heat and slows your wheels. The Nissan 370Z and Nissan GT-R use high-performance brake pads designed for their increased power and speed. Different pad compounds suit various driving conditions and performance requirements.
Why Brake Pads Wear Out
Every brake application removes microscopic amounts of friction material from the pad surface. High-speed stops generate intense heat that accelerates wear. Driving habits significantly affect pad lifespan, with frequent hard braking causing faster deterioration. Moisture and road debris contaminate the friction surface and reduce effectiveness. Generic aftermarket pads often use inferior friction compounds that wear unevenly, produce excessive dust, and may contain unsafe materials unlike genuine Nissan pads.
When Brake Pads Need Replacement
Replace pads when they reach the minimum thickness specification, typically around 3 millimeters. Squealing noises indicate wear indicators contacting the rotor. Reduced braking effectiveness or increased pedal travel suggests worn pads. Inspect pads every oil change or at least twice yearly to monitor remaining thickness.
