The Power Stop S1218 brake calipers represent a premium choice in the category of Performance Brake Calipers, specifically engineered for the discerning automotive enthusiast. Designed to fit a range of vehicles including the 1996-1999 Infiniti I30 (Base and T models), various Nissan Altima trims from 1993 to 2001 (GLE, GXE, SE, XE), Nissan Maxima models spanning 1989 to 1999 (GLE, GXE, SE), and Nissan Sentra editions from 2000 through 2006 (including SE, SE-R, SE-R Spec V, Limited Edition, and S), these calipers offer a reliable and direct replacement for the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts.
Manufactured by Power Stop, a respected brand in the brake industry known for its commitment to quality and innovation, these front red calipers come paired with brackets and are remanufactured in the company’s Chicago, IL facility. This process ensures that each component undergoes rigorous quality control, including 100% pressure testing to verify piston operation and to prevent leaks, thereby guaranteeing safety and performance integrity.
One of the key features of the Power Stop S1218 calipers is their electrostatic high-temperature red powder coating. This coating not only enhances the visual appeal with a vibrant finish that stands out behind stock or custom wheels but also serves a functional purpose by resisting rust and corrosion. This protective layer significantly extends the lifespan of the calipers, making them a durable investment for vehicle owners who demand longevity and consistent performance.
The assembly of each caliper kit includes new pistons, seals, slide pins (where applicable), dust boots, bleeder screws, and stainless steel brake pad abutment clips. The use of high-temperature EPDM rubber dust boots combined with premium silicone lubricant ensures smoother operation and enhanced durability under extreme driving conditions. This meticulous attention to detail in materials and assembly reflects Power Stop’s dedication to delivering reliable braking components that meet rigorous business standards.
In addition to their technical excellence, these calipers contribute to improved braking performance, offering enhanced stopping power and responsiveness. This makes them particularly suitable for drivers seeking to maintain or upgrade their vehicle’s brake system with components that blend performance, reliability, and aesthetic appeal.
The Power Stop S1218 calipers are a practical and efficient solution for those looking to replace or upgrade their front brake calipers without compromising on quality. Their compatibility with a wide range of Nissan and Infiniti models further underscores their versatility and value within the performance brake caliper category.
