Install was easy, just as planned. This kit is refurbished oe calipers powder coated red. Nothing over the top but they look much better than the bare metal factory calipers. I have driven less than 50 miles so far but initial impression is great. Nice and smooth, they seem to catch a little lower on the pedal but that can be due to how fresh they are and still removing the coating on the rotors. Since the rotors are drilled and slotted there is a little noise but I suspect that will go away after my 80 mile commute tomorrow. Happy to report the pulsating is gone and braking performance is much better now.

Pros: easy install, smooth braking
Cons: rotors a little noisy
Vehicle: Volkswagen
Mileage: 50 km

I bought some Power Stop DE calipers/rotors at a good price from rock auto, unfortunately they powder coat them red before they rebuild them. I knew this before buying them so today I prepped and painted them black to match the rears.

Pros: good price
Cons: powder coat them red

I replaced both rear calipers, pads and both electro mechanical parking brake motors on my 2009 Tiguan. Now the yellow 'P' dashboard symbol is always on.

Cons: yellow 'P' dashboard on

A couple weekends ago I first tried to tackle the issue with the brake pedal nearly hitting the floor while driving, I figured it was do to the brakes needing to be bled, so on a weekend I put the car up in the air, proceeded to snap both bleeder screws on the calipers, swap on used ones off my red 16v and bleed the brakes.

Pros: bled the brakes
Cons: pedal felt like crap

POWER STOP Brake caliper

Two calipers failed in the first year. I tried to repair it when I finally took apart the seals were junk and they had never been put in properly at manufacturer. The pistons had rust on them! Understanding manufacturing can go bad. Now today I heard a grinding and pulled my wheels off my Jeep only to find a third caliper had frozen and completely ripped through the brake pad and damaged the rotor. Not to mention all the paint that was so pretty on these things has peeled off.

Cons: caliper failure, rust, paint peeled
Mileage: 5000 km
