Powerstop rotors and pads. Stocks where starting to squeak so upgrade time. Definitely a difference in stopping power
I put in the powerstop z36 drilled and slotted rotors last spring, and I think they're pretty darn good. Great stopping power, and make me feel totally in control of towing my car trailer.
For my rear rotors I used Power stop Evolution cross drilled and slotted rotors and EBC Redstuff pads. They've been great.
New Brembo front rotors. New StopTech brake pads at 75k miles
I bought the Power stop drilled and slotted rear rotors and ceramic brakes for my 2010 Titan. I think it's great. I bought the kit, 2 rotors and 2 sets of pads for around $170 off carparts.com.
I did replace the rotors with Powerstop Evolution drilled, slotted & Ceramic Pads, (as others have mentioned) but was going to anyway. I think something like this rivet touching the rotor for a few stops damages them. Maybe because they are new, maybe because they are actually better, perhaps it is a Placebo, but after bedding the pads properly, I believe the vehicle stops much easier/faster and with more confidence.
My old car was a Honda Pilot, we drove from PA to GA several times a year. I soon discovered that Honda OEM rotors were crap and they would warp after one of our trips. Finally gave in, bought some Power stop rotors and ceramic pads. Have never had a warp issue ever since.
I've used power stop rotors on a few 3/4 ton trucks with no warping. I would not bat an eye at using them again.
How much did those Brembo's set you back ?
FWIW - I purchased a complete set of PowerStop Slotted and Cross-Drilled rotors and included pads for my 14 TDI SE along with ECS Stainless brake lines. I also flushed the fluid. No noticeable difference at all. And one disappointment that really bothered me was during an event it felt like the rotors were warping very early on and I was afraid I was going to ruin them for the rest of the event. However, the pulsing settled down as I learned to go easier on them.
