I have Powerstop calipers and their Geomet rotors in all 4 corners of my XJ (probably pads too, don't remember), and I have power stop pads on my Caprice PPV (they are the cop special ones). Good experience overall. The caprice ones are really squeaky for one stop after any rain or fog, but fine after that. XJ is being rebuilt, so I have not driven it yet.

Had full set of power stop on mine. But one rear caliper got half frozen and chewed up the caliper so I went back to stock on the rears.
I put Powerstop calipers on the front when I did the 5th Gen conversion. No complaints with them, they stop much better than before.
Two calipers failed in the first year. I tried to repair it when I finally took apart the seals were junk and they had never been put in properly at manufacturer. The pistons had rust on them! Understanding manufacturing can go bad. Now today I heard a grinding and pulled my wheels off my Jeep only to find a third caliper had frozen and completely ripped through the brake pad and damaged the rotor. Not to mention all the paint that was so pretty on these things has peeled off.
To resolve the caliper problem, the option choice is change all caliper pair with the model: caliper rear Right POWER STOP L5398 45.21mm / 328mm rotor caliper rear Left POWER STOP L5399 45.21mm / 328mm rotor this caliper match my Van...
I bought some Power Stop DE calipers/rotors at a good price from rock auto, unfortunately they powder coat them red before they rebuild them. I knew this before buying them so today I prepped and painted them black to match the rears.
They've been on the car for 2 years and ~ 30 track hours without issue.
I’ve beat the shit outta my z36 ones and they’ve held up great.
My power stop calipers rotted out internally after a year. Had new brake fluid and everything yet they broke
I installed the full power stop kit, drilled and slotted with the extreme pads and red powder coated calipers. All work very well and still look good after 13k miles or so.
