Max Advanced Brakes Front & Rear Brake Kit - Drilled Slotted Ceramic

Our review of the Max Advanced Brakes Front & Rear Brake Kit finds it best suited for owners of 2007-2015 Nissan Armada and 2008-2015 Titan or Infiniti QX56 who want a noticeable upgrade in stopping power without complicated installation. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of carbon ceramic pads and black e-coated drilled and slotted rotors that improve cooling and resist rust while delivering quieter, low-dust performance under load. For towing, hauling, or regular highway driving this kit balances performance, durability, and value in one package.

Key Features

• Black E-coated Rotors: The drilled and slotted rotors are e-coated to resist corrosion and maintain consistent braking performance in wet or salty conditions.
• Advanced Carbon Ceramic Pads: Ceramic pads offer fade-resistant, responsive stopping power with reduced dust and minimal noise during city and highway driving.
• Improved Cooling: Slotting and drilling help dissipate heat faster under demanding use such as towing or sustained downhill braking.
• Complete Installation Kit: The package includes front and rear rotors, two sets of pads, stainless-steel hardware, high-temperature lubricant, and gloves for straightforward installation.
• Versatile Application: The kit is designed for diverse conditions from daily commuting to off-road camping and heavy-load towing, offering flexibility for active drivers.
• Stylish Finish: The black coated rotors provide a cleaner look that also helps keep wheels looking tidy by reducing visible rust streaks.

Who It's For

This kit is intended for drivers of 2007-2015 Nissan Armada, 2008-2015 Titan, and 2008-2010 Infiniti QX56 who need dependable braking when towing, hauling, or tackling hilly terrain. It is especially useful for owners who want an upgrade over OEM parts with an emphasis on cooling, corrosion resistance, and lower pad dust.

Drivers seeking a track-only, race-spec brake package or those who require integrated electronic sensors not listed with this kit should look elsewhere. Also, if someone needs OE-identical aesthetics rather than black-coated rotors, this is a performance-oriented alternative.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Fit and installation are reported as straightforward, with pads and rotors going on smoothly.
• Strong stopping power and fade resistance from the carbon ceramic pads under heavy loads.
• Corrosion-resistant black e-coating keeps rotors cleaner and reduces rust.
• Good value for a full front and rear kit that includes hardware and lubricant.

Cons

• Not a race-only rotor design; drivers wanting extreme track performance may prefer different materials or thicker rotors.
• Black coating may show minor wear over time depending on driving conditions.
