I have been using the power stop carbon fiber pads on my 2007 Lexus IS250. They have 60k miles on them, and still have 9mils of thickness. They literally look brand new. I love them, and theyre much less dusty than OEM.

Pros: less dusty than OEM, look brand new

Vehicle: Lexus

Mileage: 96560 km

Powerstop is perfectly fine. Every car I've owned in the last 10 years get powerstop when I need to replace pads and rotors.

I used PowerStop on my Land Cruiser and they were great, so I installed PoweStop on my wife’s rav4 and they were terrible. Very noisy with the squeaks , clicks, and clunks. I replaced them with Akebono and they have been fine since.

Pros: were great (Land Cruiser)

Cons: very noisy

Vehicle: Toyota
