Rating 4.0

We had the first instance of warped rotors at 15k and the dealer resurfaced them under warranty. Then at 25k it sounded like a NYC subway train pulling into the station at slow stops. Returned to the dealer to be told that they wouldn't work on the brakes again without us replacing the pads and rotors on our dime. I believe the rotors were getting glazed. Decided to go with the PowerStop drilled and slotted rotors and ceramic pads, replaced them at home and we've been very happy for another 10k. Improved brake performance and as quiet as can be.

Pros: Improved braking, quiet operation
Cons: Warped rotors, noisy brakes

I absolutely love mine on my 2015. Normally an OEM guy on other Lexus/Toyota trucks but after not being satisfied and doing lots of research decided to give [these](https://a.co/d/1SkJLV5) a try. It’s been about 10k miles now and I’m very impressed. Would 100% recommend.

Edit: adding that not only is the brake performance excellent, the fact that they don’t rust is a huge plus!

Pros: excellent brake performance, don't rust
Mileage: 10000 km

Zimmermann Brake discs

I use Zimmerman rotors and OEM pads from fcpeuro. I like the bite the oem pads have compared to ceramic. More brake dust yes, but I want a car to stop as fast as possible.

Pros: strong braking, good bite
Cons: more brake dust
Vehicle: Volvo XC60

Zimmermann Brake discs

I did Zimmerman/Akebono on my e39 about 3000 mikes ago. My only complaint is the bite. It doesn't have that initial braking force the OEM pads had. It still slows the car down without fail, just a different feel.

Pros: reliable braking
Cons: less initial bite
Vehicle: BMW
Mileage: 3000 km

I did the powerstop drilled slotted rotors thing on my Outback 3.6 which I’d run on the heavy side on family trips. The Gen 4 Outback’s are known to have poor brake performance and I thought it would be a smart upgrade for extra margin. In the end I wouldn’t recommend. More noise, faster pad wear, premature cracking around the drilled holes on the rotors, questionable performance upgrade.

Cons: more noise, faster pad wear
