Disc brake pads are the most frequently replaced component in your Infiniti Q45 braking system. The friction material your Q45 calipers press against the rotor surface wears down with every stop, and the right pad formulation for your Infiniti Q45, your driving style, and American climate directly affects your stopping distance, rotor lifespan, brake noise, and dust output.
A Infiniti Q45 disc brake pad is a steel backing plate bonded to a friction material compound. When you press the brake pedal on your Q45, hydraulic pressure forces the caliper pistons to squeeze the pads against the spinning rotor, converting kinetic energy into heat and slowing your Infiniti Q45. The friction material wears gradually and must be replaced when it reaches the minimum safe thickness, typically 3mm, to maintain full stopping performance on your Q45.
Ceramic Brake Pads for the Infiniti Q45
Ceramic pads are the premium everyday choice for most Infiniti Q45 drivers. Formulated from a dense ceramic compound, Q45 ceramic pads maintain consistent friction effectiveness across a wide temperature range, including cold starts on your Infiniti Q45 at sub-zero temperatures. They produce minimal dust, run quieter in stop-and-go city traffic on the Q45, and are significantly gentler on Infiniti Q45 rotor surfaces than metallic alternatives.
Semi-Metallic Brake Pads for the Infiniti Q45
Semi-metallic pads excel under sustained heat loads on the Infiniti Q45. They are the preferred choice for Q45 trucks and SUVs used for towing, and performance Infiniti Q45 vehicles where braking generates high sustained temperatures. Semi-metallic pads provide more aggressive stopping bite at high temperatures on your Infiniti Q45, at the cost of slightly more noise and dust in everyday driving.
Our brake pad selection for the Infiniti Q45 is curated specifically for American road and climate conditions. Every ceramic pad confirmed for the Infiniti Q45 in our catalogue is evaluated for cold-weather friction effectiveness on your Q45, not just room-temperature lab specs. Brands including Akebono, EBC, and Raybestos are stocked as authorized retailer products for the Infiniti Q45, meaning full manufacturer warranty and zero grey-market risk on every Q45 purchase.
How often should I replace my Infiniti Q45 disc brake pads?
Most Infiniti Q45 brake pads last between 40,000 and 70,000 kilometres, but this varies based on driving style and conditions. American city driving tends to wear Q45 pads faster than highway driving. Inspect Infiniti Q45 pads at every oil change and replace when friction material reaches 3mm or less.
Should I replace front and rear brake pads on my Infiniti Q45 at the same time?
Not necessarily. Front brakes on the Infiniti Q45 handle 60 to 70 percent of braking force and typically wear faster. Always replace pads as an axle pair on the Q45, both left and right on the same axle, to maintain even braking force.
Are ceramic or semi-metallic pads better for my Infiniti Q45 in American winters?
Ceramic pads are the better everyday choice for most Infiniti Q45 drivers. For Q45 drivers who tow regularly or drive performance Infiniti Q45 vehicles, semi-metallic pads deliver superior stopping bite and heat resistance under demanding conditions.
