POWER STOP Brake pads

Rating 4.5

I’ve had a full set of Powerstop Z23’s on my TSX Wagon for 4-yrs. The carbon ceramic pads have really held up well and have virtually no dust to cleanup. Rotor surface is generally rusted from water/dampness but clears immediately after driving. Center hat has zinc coating and is still bright silver color. Car driven year round in SW lower Michigan.

Pros: held up well, low dust
Cons: rotor surface rusts
Vehicle: Acura TSX

They work fine, although I’d probably go with plain rotors to increase pad life. The pads are fairly dusty leave some stubborn yellow-brown dust on your wheels.

Pros: work fine
Cons: dusty pads

POWER STOP Brake pads

My car needs brakes really bad. I had the Front pads replaced at about 60k miles, and it cost me $400 (From a local shop, parts had to be ordered direct from VW). The rears needed replaced then, but I couldn't afford it and just now have the extra cash to do them and figure I will do all 4 brakes at the same time. Also decided to buy parts online because it seems to be MUCH cheaper (Only place I can find local stocking the correct parts is VW, and they are pretty pricey of course). I figured Amazon would be the first place to look (Because I shop there for everything, and have Prime so I get free shipping on everything). Found these, which seem like a good fit: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001D27YQC/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER (Plus, they are 10% off.) The problem is, I cannot find rear brake pads at a similar price, anywhere I look. I figured Power Stop would have a similar pair for the back, but I cannot find them on Amazon (They have such a crappy search function for auto parts). I have tried searching various other sites that carry the above linked pads (Summit, Jegs, THmotorsports) but all of them either don't show rear pads, or their site doesn't search properly. I even tried the Power Stop website to find a parts number but when you 'select your car' the only VW option is Passat. It's driving me crazy. Anyone have an idea of either the parts number for the rear power stop brakes, OR a link to some good similarly priced rears (or front and rears)??? I am planning to get these rotors: http://thmotorsports.com/ebc_brakes...c_brakes/ebc_brake_rotors_upr_premium_replacement_rotors/upr1772/i-1806853.aspx Not looking for anything fancy or top of the line. Car is a daily driver and has been retired from heavy driving ever since it hit 80k miles. Now it just gets me to and from work, and the occasional out of town trip on the weekends. Car is a 2013 VW Jetta S (2.0 4cyl, Non-turbo)

Pros: cheaper online parts
Cons: difficulty finding rear pads, poor search function
Mileage: 60000 km

POWER STOP Brake pads

I just replaced my rear pads (Powerstop) 3 weeks ago and they already have excessive rust. I know that rust is normal on all brake drums, but my front ones which are still original, don't show a tremendous amount of rust.

Cons: excessive rust after 3 weeks
