Brake pads POWER STOP or Mintex

I put Powerstops (drilled/slotted) on my Sequoia and couldn’t be happier. And I’ve done a LOT brakes, typically using OEM, but research showed I could do better on the heavy Sequoia especially. ’ll be putting them on my GX and 4Runner next time they need brakes!

Happy to report the upgrade seems to be worth the effort. The brakes seemed very smooth and responded well on all the downhill coming through the mountains. No noticeable noise, overheating or warping of any kind. Just smooth consistent brake and pedal feel for the entire trip out and back.

I got my PowerStop Z26 Street Warrior pads through them about 2 years ago and they're working fine.

No complaints on bite/fade or fitment.

I have power stops on my 17. I’ve had them on there for probably like 75k miles. Cars at like 150k. Oddly enough, it’s my back pads that are closest to needing to be replaced, even though I put them on like 5k miles after my fronts. No pulsing, shaking, etc. they’ve been great. I figured the drilled/slotted for keeping cool on the track might make them less likely to get messed up in puddles and thus far they haven’t disappointed.

I put a set of PowerStop Z36 on my 2008 Silverado 1500 w/ rear drums and the improvement in brake performance was substantial.

Centric rotors and Powerstop brake pads, I have the Z23s. They stop well and very little dust.

Power stop z17 all the way. Very good quality pad. Never really knew that pad quality mattered until I had a couple cars with squeaky brakes only to find out that installing the power stop pads resolved the squeak. They’re always good about coming with hardware.

Love their fully rotors. Hate the brake pads. Ceramic Brake pads in my experiences with 5 cars throw off a lot of dust!

The front and rear pad kits were wrong. The shims for the front pads did not fit and the rear pads were for my model WITHOUT electric parking brake. The rear pads have rivets in the way on the inner pad which interfere with the solid piston.
