Power Stop k5577-36 brakes

[07navi]

Power Stops are supposed to be nice. I cheaped out and just did some slotted and drilled rotors with standard pads, all from Detroit Axle. And I have only installed the front and it already feels like I lost half the weight of my EL. The difference is amazing. I regularly do 5000 ft of decline over about 15 miles and could really feel the fade with standard rotors and pads. Now it’s gone. I feel like I’m driving a sedan now in comparison.

Probably because they aren't ceramic.

Grdsman, My rotors also had Front drivers side on both rotors but based on how the slots ran it ended up just being mismarked. I just put mine on today. I verified by checking online that they were good to go.

You'll need a 7mm Allen wrench.

And a 9 mm.

Yeah, I had hoped that they were mislabeled, but the slots ran the same direction on both rotors. They sent me the correct rotor and I’m good to go.

I ended up "pressing" the bushings in with this setup and it worked great. The head of the bolt was on the plastic insert in the bushing.

I don't know what the heck is going on, but my brake pedal drops to the floor after swapping on these brakes. I've bled the system countless times, including while cycling the ABS pump with a Snap-On scanner and I just can't get good pedal pressure. Is there a chance that I killed a seal on a caliper or the MC when I pushed the caliper pistons back in? I'm not seeing any leaks or fluid drop.
