I got the powerstop remanufactured brembo 4pot/2pot for a 2008-2017 STI on my 2018 WRX I found online for less than $800 with pads, calipers (red powder coated) and drilled and slotted rotors.

Pros: less than $800
Vehicle: Subaru

I also do highly recommended the power stop brand calipers...And their customer service is excellent. I had a problem with one...They sent me a new one anyway. They do stand behind their products.

Pros: excellent customer service

Was lucky and found a set of 996 calipers front and back from someone that was parting out a carerra. Couldn't be happier with them, pedal is firm and confident inspiring

Pros: firm pedal, confident inspiring

I have used Powerstop Calipers Brake kits in two trucks. A Chevy 1500 High Country and Honda Ridgeline. I agree with you on detail esthetics but, these are great performance quality and the brake dust residual is so much better. Also they do follow through on their rebate offers. I touched my calipers up with paint.

Pros: great performance, less brake dust
Cons: poor aesthetics

It takes a larger master cylinder to push more fluid to four pistons. The surface area of all 4 pistons pushing on the disc is slightly larger than OE. A larger (thicker) rotor is being used and I'm not sure how to calculate that into the equation or if that's even important. Regardless if you have the oe mater cylinder using Porsche 4 pot calipers you will have to get a larger master cylinder.

Pros: larger surface area
Cons: larger master cylinder needed

I bought new Power Stop calipers. I have not been able to get the brakes fully bled since then. The pedal was really bad. Even after multiple bleeding attempts, including by a shop, it's not perfect. My power bleeder also couldn't seal with these calipers.

Cons: difficult to bleed, pedal still bad

Power stop reman parts are trash. Only buy them if you’re planning on re-rebuilding them yourself with oem parts. Out of the multiple sets of calipers, all of them had issues like seals not fitting or being torn up, blasting media left inside the caliper or slide pins, pistons being scored or rusted, etc. The red powder coat was decent though lol.

Pros: decent red powder coat
Cons: seals not fitting, torn seals, blasting media left, scored pistons, rusted pistons

Be careful Powerstop calipers are just remanned calipers. Poorly powered coated. Paint came off the first winter and one caliper seized up in under a year.

Cons: poorly coated, seized up

Had them installed and im quite underwhelmed. Sloppy paint work and having clips not even color matching is making me want to put my stock ones back on.

Cons: sloppy paint, color mismatch
Vehicle: Dodge Durango
