POWER STOP Brake discs

Rating 5.0

A few years ago, I put PowerStop front rotors and pads, and pad slapped the rears on my buddy's 2011 One Hundrert n' Fitty (and flushed his brake fluid and replaced it with DOT4 synthetic). He said it was the best braking feel and performance he's ever had in the truck, and he bought it with 6 miles on the odometer and had pads done previously. He's still using the same stuff, too, rotors are still well within spec several years later.

Pros: best braking feel, great performance

POWER STOP Brake discs

I used powerstop rotors and pads and I used TRQ calipers. Powerstop calipers were backordered at the time. They're all just refurbished calipers that are powder coated so I don't think brand is that important for the calipers anyway.

Pros: easy installation

Centric Brake discs

My solution is to always use top of the line brake pads like PFC 11s or raybestos st43 and up.

The other thing I ended up doing is once I really started being able to push the car hard, I installed Porsche 911 993 air deflectors on the lower control arms and that increased airflow was just enough to let me get away with keeping the small brakes. This past weekend I was at VIR and I was getting up to 130 on the straights, even bumping up against the rev limiter in fifth before braking for roller coaster, and the brakes held up fine. That and $30 RockAuto centric rotors.

Pros: held up fine, increased airflow
Vehicle: Toyota

POWER STOP Brake discs

I literally put these on my 2018 last Sunday and they feel great so far. Broke them in as instructed and they have been smooth riding. Took me about 2 hours taking my time and bleeding the brakes

Pros: feel great, smooth riding

Parts quality has gone straight to hell since the start of the pandemic. Especially brake rotors. I'm tired of looking like a jackass to customers when stuff from trusted brands fails in a couple weeks. The only consistently decent rotors I'm finding are, of all the places, freaking Power Stop coated rotors from Rock Auto. I Never have trouble with those.

Pros: consistently decent, no trouble
Cons: fails in weeks, poor quality
