Anyone ever use powerstop slotted rotors/pads

[gixer2000]

I'm prepping to do an entire brake job and looking for opinions on the powerstop brand. I already ordered them through rockauto but if the reviews are bad I'll just send them back. Thoughts?

You've already committed, why not give them a go. If real horrible, Ie bad fading, smells, pulsating, etc, Chuck them, or send them back, who knows you might have found a diamond in the rough, that you could share with all of us!

I’m looking at similar setup. Z36 was the pad of choice for me too.

Maybe I should wait and see what you say.....

Oh boy. Lol I had these on my first car, I got them because they looked cool. Tons of brake dust thrown on the front tires and it builds up in the slots and holes and is a pain in the a$$ to get out. Will literally need to clean ur wheels 2-3x a week so they don’t get too bad

I'm using them.. had them on for nearly a year now. They're the real deal, though they are a little dustier than some.

Seems like overkill for an suv.

No doubt they are. That said, they look great with custom wheels and that's the only reason I went with them. They do stop the truck very well.. and that can't hurt.

Overkill for a 6000 lb pig that I tow with? No such thing as overkill considering the weight imo

Im pretty surprised by that considering they claim low brake dust. We'll see though.

I also ordered new front wheel bearings and IWE's just because I'll be in there anyway.
