Brake caliper POWER STOP or OEM Audi
Reviews
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.
Pros: good experience overall
Cons: squeaky after rain
I put Powerstop calipers on the front when I did the 5th Gen conversion. No complaints with them, they stop much better than before.
Pros: stop much better
Yes basically the same as Macan calipers, just a LOT less expensive. The feel is great, more pad area and better clamping force compared to the OEM single piston, made my tires scream for mercy. The weight savings is a nice perk as well.
Pros: great feel, better clamping
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
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...
Pros: caliper match my Van
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Part number: L5398, L5399
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.
Pros: good price
Cons: powder coat them red
They've been on the car for 2 years and ~ 30 track hours without issue.
Pros: worked fine, no issues
I’ve beat the shit outta my z36 ones and they’ve held up great.
Pros: held up great
Recently i had a 5 month old powerstop caliper leak and my brake pedal hit the floor. No warranty outside 90 days plus there was no availability for ordering another set!
Cons: caliper leak, no warranty
I do not think the calipers are anything special. Just powder coated. I had issues with them (seizing) and replaced with refurbed oem Chrysler. Running the powerstop rotors with EBC Green pads. I would just upgrade pads instead of rotors and calipers If could do it over again.
Cons: seizing issues
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.
Cons: caliper froze, damaged caliper
