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.
I just got a full set of power stop. They worked out great, only I wish that I would have gotten the coated rotors. The surface rust forming on the uncoated rotors looks bad, but doesn’t affect performance.
Install was rather simple and the stopping power is great.
I used the Power Stop Z36 kit. It has drilled and slotted rotors with ceramic pads. It was about $425 for all 4 shipped directly to my house last year. So far they seem great.
Went with power stop rotors and pads. Serious upgrade over stock. Very happy.
I got the powerstop set for the front. Heavy duty drilled/slotted rotors, nice pads and new calipers for 200 bucks.
On a brake related note...anyone know if Power Stop rotors & pads are good quality? Looking to upgrade my stock units and these are pretty affordable on Amazon.
I would advise from purchasing Power Stop drilled and slotted rotors and pads. Purchased and installed them. They told me the upgraded rotors and pads would reduce the brake fade I experience from driving a 1999 4Runner with a 3 inch Lift and 32s in the mountains. Initially I saw an increase in stopping power and endurance. Now, 6 months later, I have been experiencing horrible vibrations while braking and at highway speeds. I replaced my pads which were already worn out. Still experienced horrible vibrations. Today I replaced the rotors and have finally been able to brake smoothly and safely. The Power Stop pads wore out in 6 months and the rotors got warped.
