I run those rotors with their track day pads on track and have loved their performance.
I got the Power Stop JBR522SCR rotors for 23.99 each from RockAuto about four months ago. They stop my 2012.
So I got the black drilled and slotted rotors and pad replacements from them a while back, brakes are great. No dust, no squeak, fit like oem, and although not truly black anymore their still darker finish looking rotors so they look good behind the wheels.
In July 2018, at ~124,000 miles, I put new PowerStop Geomet coated front rotors and new front PowerStop ceramic pads and rotors on a 2011 Honda Odyessy, for an owner who was about to move to into the rust belt (they were worried about rust so wanted coated rotors). OE rotors were warped and had very bad vibration at all speeds when braking. As it happens, the owner moved back to my area in 2023 and the car came back for routine service at ~178,000 miles. Pads about ~40% through, coated rotors showing no signs of rust, and despite the same person (his wife) driving the car with the same behaviors that apparently warped the OE rotors in the ~50k miles from when they first bought the car, 50k miles later and no signs of uneven rotor wear or warping. The PowerStop Evolution ceramic products have been great from my experience. The important thing with new pads and rotors is to follow the bed in procedure once they are installed.
I did mine recently. Purchased new guild pins and boots from rock auto and replaced them while I was at it. For rotors I like Zimmerman, pagid, brembo or textar. And pad I like semi metallic, preferably pagid or textar. For this particular brake job I went with textar rotors and a combination or trw and textar pads. Took me roughly 2-2.5 hours and cost me about 680 CAD. I flushed about a L of pentosin dot 4 through too.
Use the Powerstop kit. I have them on 3 personal cars (all around) right now and hundreds of customer cars. Not one comeback or complaint. Metallurgy on rotors is good as long as you do a nice break in period and burnish pads to rotors.
I went with Powerstop drilled/slotted rotors with brake pads. I like them, work great, less dust.
I used to have both front rotors smoking after uphill runs lmao. I ended up getting some Powerstop slotted/drilled rotors and pads and then I overheated my brake fluid my first downhill run with them. Since I changed that its been braking fine and better than than stock imo
Powerstop are what I’ve been running on a few cars with no issues.
Back in November 2019 / ~7,500 miles ago, I installed the Power Stop Z23 Evolution Geomet Coated Rotor and Pad Kit. Well, now the rotors are warped and I need replacement rotors.
