Hi Guys,

Any experience with those kits from power stop ?

Z23 EVOLUTION SPORT / Rotors + Pads ?
Or maybe StopTech would be better choice.

Thx
 
I currently have them on the front of my CR-V. Cross drilled and slotted rotors and pads combined.
Working fine. About to put Raybestos Professional rotors and pads out back this weekend.

Are they comparable to Porsche OEM, ATE, Zimmerman, Sebro ?
 
I have their rotors front and back on my Jeep.

The slots make a wooshing noise while braking. They stop really well and predictably so I'm not that upset about the extra noise.

They were 33% cheaper than a composite blank rotor so I'd probably buy them again.

No, no, no, and no.

They're comparable to a mid-grade Raybestos, ACDelco, Centric, Valeo etc.

Not in the same class but neither is the price. Mid grade but for a daily driver thy are okay for the money.

Agreed - stay with OES/OEM pads and rotors. German braking systems are extremely well designed and there's no reason to deviate from the OE design.

Tracking that thing?
 
OEM pads were great but they squeak from new ... So I will stay with OEM rotors but aftermarket pads ... Not much choice

Power Stop
Yellow Stuff EBC
And couple others

Thx for all the help as always

The "price was right" on rockauto when I did it last summer. They've done just fine. Plus I got a cool sticker that I put on the canister of my central vacuum in the garage!
 
Last year, Rockauto sold the Powerstop kit for my wife's car.

It is called a one click kit.

Came with Powerstop brake pads, and came with unknown brake rotors.

Received the first set of brake rotors, they had a serious machining issue with them. Grooves all over the face of the rotor.

Sent them back in the mail for rockauto to "inspect".

They sent out another "kit". I put it on the car, something was wrong with these rotors also.

Made a loud humming sound even after 30 days. My mechanic said it was cheap rotors.

I took the whole thing apart a second time, and threw all the stuff in the garbage.

Bought the GOLD brakes from Advance Auto part, rotors and pads.

No problems at all, and I used a 40 percent off coupon.

I forget the name of the rotors that Rockauto sent me, I had never heard of them, but I did find them for 6 dollars each online. Chinese rotors, very low quality.
