Rear Brake Kit for 2017-2023 Nissan Leaf Rogue Qashqai - Quiet

In this review the Max Advanced Brakes rear brake kit is examined for everyday drivers who want quieter stops and cleaner wheels without fuss. The bottom line: it is a practical, direct-replacement kit that improves pedal feel and reduces dust thanks to carbon-infused ceramic pads, while cross-drilled rotors help control fade during repeated stops. For owners of compatible Leaf, Rogue, Rogue Sport and Qashqai models seeking an upgrade over stock rear hardware, this kit delivers obvious day-to-day benefits with straightforward installation.

Key Features

• Upgraded daily performance: StyleMAX is tuned to give a firmer, more refined pedal feel that suits city driving and highway commutes without aggressive track behavior.
• Cross-drilled rotors: Precision drilling improves heat dissipation to reduce surface temperatures and help minimize fade during repeated braking events.
• Non-directional rotor finish: A non-directional finish promotes smoother pad bedding and helps reduce vibration for a stable pedal response.
• Carbon-infused ceramic pads: These pads cut brake dust by about 60% and suppress low-speed noise for cleaner wheels and quieter stops.
• Complete rear kit: Includes 2 cross-drilled rear rotors, 4 ceramic pads and installation hardware for a direct bolt-on replacement with no modifications.

Who It's For

The kit is best for drivers of 2018-2023 Nissan Leaf (electric parking brake), 2018-2020 Rogue and 2017-2022 Rogue Sport (electric parking brake), and 2017-2023 Qashqai who want a straightforward rear brake upgrade that balances calm NVH and reduced dust with everyday stopping performance. It fits owners who prefer an easy bolt-on replacement rather than custom performance parts.

Those seeking heavy track use, multi-day towing, or an aggressive racing compound should look elsewhere, as this kit is tailored to refined daily driving rather than high-temperature endurance or competition braking.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Reduced brake dust keeps wheels cleaner compared with standard organic pads.
• Quieter low-speed operation thanks to the carbon-infused ceramic formulation.
• Cross-drilled rotors help control fade and improve heat dissipation during repeated stops.
• Complete, direct-fit kit simplifies installation with included hardware.

Cons

• Some customers reported light surface rust developing within a month, so corrosion resistance may be mixed depending on local conditions.
• Not intended for track or heavy towing where more aggressive rotor and pad compounds are required.
