K1174 is primarily available in semi-metallic formulation, suitable for heavy-load vehicles such as pickup trucks and light commercial vans. If a quieter, lower-dust option is preferred, inquire about ceramic or NAO material alternatives.

💡 Purchasing & Installation Tips
1
Check OE Number: The most accurate matching method is to remove the old part and verify the original part number on the back plate (e.g., 44060-08G25) against the supplier's product.
2
Confirm Vehicle Model and Year: K1174 is compatible with multiple generations of Nissan pickups (D21, D22, D23, etc.). Brake system specifications may vary by model year. It is recommended to provide the specific vehicle year or VIN for confirmation.
3
Replace in Pairs: To ensure balanced braking performance on both sides, it is recommended to replace brake shoe sets on both wheels of the same axle simultaneously. Standard kits typically contain 4 pieces (sufficient for both rear wheels).
4
Check Included Hardware: Some kits may include installation hardware. If purchasing brake shoes separately, a separate brake hardware kit may be required to replace return springs and retaining pins.
