I've had them in my truck for 2-3 years. Through many miles and tons of off-road time (and some very harsh wheeling) on desert and alpine trips, they've held up just fine. The only time I had an issue was when coming down a very long, steep grade (Sonora Pass in the California Sierra Nevada) with about 1,200 lb of cargo in the truck. I started getting some pretty nasty fade and had to pull over for about 20 mins to wait for everything to cool down. That being said, the same exact thing would have happened with any near-stock-size pad+rotor setup, so it's not a fault of the product itself.

Been running Z 23 for over three years. With an Overland set up they’ve been great.
It's what i use specifically because i do tow semi-regularly and they are a huge upgrade over stock brakes.
I’ve had them on my truck for about 20k miles. No complaints. Although I noticed no difference over the oem stuff.
I put those on my truck last summer, and they've been great. The kit had all the hardware needed and everything fit perfectly. They have a little more grab than the OEM pads I replaced, but overall drive on the highway/city like the OEM. After an icy winter with plenty of salt there's no corrosion on the rotors at all. I usually buy geomet coated rotors so the Zinc ones were new to me. Overall very satisfied and would buy again.
I got those about 6k miles ago good set no worse than stock so far and they do feel better no warping despite larger tires and a heavy foot.
I also have a 2002 LS430, and my last brake job was with PowerStop Z23 pads front and rear plus raybestos rotors. I love this setup. It’s smooth, she stops on a dime and its also clean.
I recommend powerstop pads and drilled/slotted rotors. I put about 40-50k miles a year or longer on my car (depends on driving habits too).
I got powerstop brakes and rotors but not exactly those. I'm mostly happy with them but they suck little bit when it's pretty hot with the Texas heat for me
Bought a set of Powerstop pads and rotors for my Avalon. Every single pad had paint on the edge that prevent the pad from sliding smoothly. Ended up sanding the edges of all 8 pads before I could install them. The rotors warped in 20k miles on the front, and 1 of the pads cracked...
