Replacement Front Ceramic Brake Pads + Rear Shoes for 2007-2012 Nissan

In this review the reviewer looks at the EXPPOWER replacement set of front ceramic brake pads and rear shoes designed for 2007-2012 Nissan Cube, Sentra and Versa models. The bottom line: this kit is for owners who need a complete front and rear service kit that balances quieter operation and improved stopping power without a factory-level price. The reviewer found the ceramic formulation and five layered OE shims deliver noticeably less dust and confident stopping under normal and moderately aggressive driving, making it a practical choice for routine maintenance.

Key Features

• Complete set: Includes front pads and rear shoes plus a hardware kit where available so both axles can be serviced at once for convenience and consistent braking feel.
• Ceramic performance: The ceramic compound blends ceramic and semi-metal traits to reduce pad dust and resist high temperatures for longer pad life in everyday driving.
• Quiet stopping: Five layered OE premium shims reduce noise and vibration, improving pedal comfort and lessening the chance of squeal under light braking.
• Braking power: The pads provide increased stopping force during more aggressive braking while maintaining steady wear characteristics.
• Warranty assurance: A five year quality assurance period offers added peace of mind after purchase.

Who It's For

This kit is best for owners of 2007-2012 Nissan Cube, Sentra or Versa who prefer a direct replacement that focuses on lower dust and quieter operation than many semi-metal options. It suits drivers who perform routine maintenance themselves or who want a single kit to hand to a technician for a full front and rear refresh.

Those who require performance-focused race pads, extreme-duty towing capability, or an OEM-branded exact match should look elsewhere; this kit is targeted at everyday street and commuter driving rather than track use or heavy commercial loads.

Pros & Cons
