I put powerstop pads and rotors on my truck about 100k miles ago. Still have those rotors, but have replaced the pads. They lasted as long as I would have expected.
Pros: long lasting rotors
Mileage: 100000 km

Comparisons
I've bought brake pads and I'm very satisfied, very good quality, silent, better braking performance than oe and have shims, whereas the others don't.
Pros: good quality, silent, better braking
I used Akebono pads and rotors. Excellent combo.
Pros: excellent combo
I went with EBC Red stuff pads just waiting on rotors.
Ended up getting these and installing them over the weekend (Abkebono ASP1210A pads and Raybestos rotors). The pads are super quiet and seem to bite well. Gf reports, "Holy my brakes BRAKE!" haha. Install was easy, the pads fit perfectly and had the correct clips. The rotors seem fine quality seems about right for the price,
Pros: quiet, good bite, easy install
Vehicle:
Toyota Corolla
Part number: ASP1210A
I had a 996.2 and an early 2.5L 986 and I loved the Boxster more. One of the best cars I've owned. I drove it back and forth from NC to WI several times. I am 6'5" and had luggage room to spare. It made better sounds than the 996. It was not very fast. It was pretty easy to work on and every single DIY job is well documented online. It was really comfortable. The handling is awesome, the brakes are awesome. Even the base ones.
Pros: handling is awesome, brakes are awesome
Cons: not very fast
Vehicle:
Porsche
As someone who has put this brand on my car for the last 6 years, they work great, tbh. I have had no issues with them.

Pros: work great, no issues

I got the powerstop z26 for like $600 for everything. They look way better and perform better than the OEM. There is zero shake when braking at high speeds.
Pros: perform better than OEM, zero shake
Vehicle:

They wanted like 3k for Brembo front brake pads and rotors for my scat pack at the dealership. I just got power stops instead and had them installed for less than 1/6th the price. The dealership told me Brembos are always on backorder so they jacked the prices, idk if that's the real case... But they were disgustingly expensive. Imo, the power stops feel the same and the rotors are holding up better. My brembo rotors warped before 20k miles of daily driving (mostly highway)
Pros: Power Stop feels the same
Cons: Brembo rotors warped
Vehicle:
Dodge
Mileage: 20000 km
I’m not a mechanic by any means (I do try to work on my car myself for what I can fix and know how to do) but I’m gonna throw my own car under the bus and say VW. Why tf do I need specialized tools, and why do barely any after market parts fit my car?
Cons: specialized tools needed, aftermarket parts don't fit
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
