Powerstop brakes

whos got them? Worth it? Longevity?

 

Pretty popular option here.

 

I've had mine on for a year and 6k miles no problems

 

Pretty happy with mine.
No rust or dust, I think they were 20$ more than our local advance auto. They work well, I didn’t get the towing ones just the normal ones. I don’t see a huge difference in stopping but I don’t brake hard anyway. I have 30k+ on them even had a piston blow on drivers caliper drenched the pads.
Cleaned them with brake clean and reinstalled no issues.
I’d buy them again
Oh but I also got 130k out of the stock ones.
Shiny,

 

Thanks! Wow 130k on stock is pretty good! How long did you run on your drums?

 

120k on rears didn’t need it but an axle seal greased them up.
I’m pretty much stock at 160k did the ac and starter changed fluids and kept frame coated.
Did battery my fault kept forgetting added shit and killed it.
Anywho I wish I had time to get the powerstop kit for the wife. She’s hard on them and we do her breaks every year be it fronts or back. Can’t coast you know just push down one pedal or the other for her. Good brakes at at good price in my mind, I got mine from Amazon!


Nice truck by the way

 

I have had these on my truck for about 3500miles, I have the heavy duty tow ones, I tow a 5700lb camper, and I see a huge difference. even when not towing, I see a big difference.

 

hmm...I have 131K on my truck and need pads and rotors...and MAYBE calipers but I am going to see if it's just the dealer being lazy and not wanting to get the pins out...I am looking for break options. I have a manual so I downshift like a champ...still...nice brakes...

 

Sitting in my garage waiting for install, slotted cryo rotors.

I would not use cross drilled. Cross drilling introduces failure stress points in the rotor that can lead to cracking of the rotor body. Your brake rotor is a heat sink, by removing material you are removing thermal capacity thus reducing the brakes ability to absorb heat. Often times the rotor cooling veins must be de-optimized to allow for drilling to not hit a vein (as drilling a vein would further compromise the rotor).

In short you are paying more for the mechanical cooling system of the rotor to be degraded, thermal mass to be degraded, and are introducing stress failure points in the rotor. But hey it looks cool.
