I've had them in my truck for 2-3 years. Through many miles and tons of off-road time (and some very harsh wheeling) on desert and alpine trips, they've held up just fine. The only time I had an issue was when coming down a very long, steep grade (Sonora Pass in the California Sierra Nevada) with about 1,200 lb of cargo in the truck. I started getting some pretty nasty fade and had to pull over for about 20 mins to wait for everything to cool down. That being said, the same exact thing would have happened with any near-stock-size pad+rotor setup, so it's not a fault of the product itself.
Been running Z 23 for over three years. With an Overland set up they’ve been great.
It's what i use specifically because i do tow semi-regularly and they are a huge upgrade over stock brakes.
I’ve had them on my truck for about 20k miles. No complaints. Although I noticed no difference over the oem stuff.
I put those on my truck last summer, and they've been great. The kit had all the hardware needed and everything fit perfectly. They have a little more grab than the OEM pads I replaced, but overall drive on the highway/city like the OEM. After an icy winter with plenty of salt there's no corrosion on the rotors at all. I usually buy geomet coated rotors so the Zinc ones were new to me. Overall very satisfied and would buy again.
I got those about 6k miles ago good set no worse than stock so far and they do feel better no warping despite larger tires and a heavy foot.
They are awesome / power stop is the brand I’ve used before and always get rotors-pads-new fluid if vehicle is old enough - make sure you do a proper break in for the pads and rotors or they will squeal soon
I’ve purchased plenty of rtors and pads from RockAuto and they are fabulous. Additionally, i notice your picture is of Powerstop rotors and pads. I’ve bought Powerstop for several of my cars. The drilled and slotted rotors are A-MAZ-ZING. I highly recommend them, as they warp way, way less than other rotors. It’s incredible how much heat they can take.
Having said that, the Powerstop pads are another story. They are built for *racing*. This means an unusual break-in method and they don’t ‘grip’ as hard until they get really hot (like they would if you were road-racing/rally-crossing your car). This means that your braking won’t be as good under normal, everyday conditions that 99% of us do. I experienced this on a 2006 Honda Odyssey, a 2010 Jeep Wrangler 4-door, and a 2005 Subaru Outback. This is not a defect in the pad. They are designed this way because they are a racing pad.
I’ve since just bought ‘normal’ pads and they work great.
Thats not a VW problem, that a cheap/faulty brake rotor problem. The only car I ever owned that would not shake when braking hard over 70 mph was my 2014 cruze with fresh power stop rotors and pads.
Parts quality has gone straight to hell since the start of the pandemic. Especially brake rotors. I'm tired of looking like a jackass to customers when stuff from trusted brands fails in a couple weeks. The only consistently decent rotors I'm finding are, of all the places, freaking Power Stop coated rotors from Rock Auto. I Never have trouble with those.
