Brake discs POWER STOP or Duralast

POWER STOP Brake discs

I've had a set of PowerStop Z23 pads, rotors, and calipers, and I drive my card HARD and still doing just fine 30k miles later. Easily 40-50% left. I used to track my car, pre COVID, and that's about the only straight up abuse I've done. I also drive year round through the winter time. I've never had pads wear down faster because of the rotors being drilled/slotted!

Pros: durable, good performance
Cons: pads wear down fast
Mileage: 30000 km

POWER STOP Brake discs

Power Stop is a super nice upgrade. Been using on my cars since I started driving. I just upgraded my 16’ Frontier to them last week and it was mind blowing how much better they are than stock.

Pros: super nice upgrade, much better than stock

Duralast Brake discs

I like the duralast gold brake rotors. They have a really nice coating to help prevent corrosion, if you’re in the north east I really recommend them. They do need to be bedded once installed to get rid of the coating on the braking surface of the rotor. You pretty much just get the car up to 20mph and hit the brakes a little aggressive, you do this a few times each time increasing your speed. It comes with clear instructions how to do it.

Pros: nice coating, prevents corrosion
Cons: needs bedding

POWER STOP Brake discs

I put the PowerStop rotors (slotted and drilled) and (ceramic) pads on our cars. They work just fine for our everyday driving scenarios. Have never had a case where stopping ability is in question. The first set now have +30k mileage and appear to be wearing at a satisfactory rate.

Pros: work fine, satisfactory wear
Mileage: 30000 km

My stock rotors (metallic pads) lasted 9 years and a track day. My ebay drilled/slotted rotors (ceramic pads)lasted 9 years and a handful of track days; they didn't crack the chamfer was just looking iffy. My latest set is from Amazon, powerstop branded drilled/slotted rotors (ceramic pads); have survived 1 track day, 1 light hdpe day and are on year 3. If you get drilled (any brand), you need to inspect the rotors more often.

Cons: iffy chamfer, needs frequent inspection
