Z23 Performance Brake Pad & Rotor Kit Front K137

This is the third vehicle in the last 5 years that I have installed the Power Stop pads and rotors on, and again I am astounded at how good they are. I have owned nearly every type and make brakes and rotors over the years and these are without exception the best. Some Background: We have a 2003 Jeep Liberty in the family since it was new. It's a great vehicle in every way, work. towing trailers, daily driving and four wheeling in the AZ desert. The stock brakes were adequate but not great. When my daughter took over the car I was highly motivated to find more stopping power for the Jeep. I did a lot of research and found (at the time) Power Stop brakes on a performance parts website. Taking a chance I bought the kits for the front and back. I installed them, followed the the simple break in procedure and could not believe the difference! I am not joking in saying that the Liberty has twice the stopping power. The stopping distance is less and the immediate stopping response is totally new for this vehicle. If I had not experienced it myself. I would not have believed it. The drilled and slotted rotors mated with the carbon fiber resin pads is amazing and after 5 years with tons of driving her back and fourth to College out of state through the mountains, they are still working perfectly. I just put them on my 2004 4Runner Limited and again the braking response is a huge notch up and so smooth. The 4Runner has this silly brake assist motor function that I really don't like, as for me it dulls the braking response unlike my Chrysler products. The Power Stop brakes nearly corrects that response and makes the brakes more precise and a pleasure to use. I also have a 2004 Dodge work truck that has big brakes and works well, but I found that the pads, no matter what I used would always squeak eventually on this truck driving me crazy. A flaw in the design. Some years ago I cut the existing rotors and put on Power Stop pads. Again the results were amazing as the truck stops better and no noise! If you want the best, do yourself a favor and buy Power Stop brakes especially the Drilled/Slotted Brake Rotors and Z23 Evolution Ceramic kit. Two Points of interest on the brakes: 1. Follow the Break In directions!!! There is a simple driving procedure where you have to accelerate and brake 10 times for specific speeds and then drive for at least 5 minutes to cool them down. This heats up the resin and bonds it to the rotors. It only needs to be done once right after you install them. I always installed and broke them in at night so there is less traffic and I can follow the 10 stops properly. 2. On the Jeep during emergency (hard) braking, I do hear the brakes make a specific sound. It sounds like almost like a down shift on a manual shifting car. It is not loud but it is there. I figure it is part and parcel of an aggressive drilled and slotted rotor and or the pads. It is only heard during very hard braking and does not bother us at all. I don't really hear it on the other vehicles.

Installation of the rotors was very simple; after doing the specified break-in, The brakes performed like new or better. No fade; no vibration or "modulation". Very pleased.

The installation went fine (for the most part). Unfortunately even after following the break-in instructions to the letter I ended up with a slight vibration that has gotten progressively worse. It's now 14 months after initial installation and I'm going to have to replace these even though they're still in very good visible condition. I'd estimate that they're less than 25% worn at the pads and the rotors appear to be fine but the front end vibration is no longer tolerable. The first type of vibration feels like rotor warpage or runout. The other is what I'd best describe as a buzzing under braking. I can only assume it's due to the slots/holes as it's a very rhythmic vibration. I've driven a lot of cars and trucks with drilled/slotted rotors and never experienced this sort of noise/vibration. For what it's worth, they do brake like a beast which was a significant improvement for my 4runner. But before the front end vibrates apart I'm going to have to get this thing torn apart and put new pads/rotors on it. I did replace the calipers and all hardware when these pads/rotors were installed just to be clear.

Anything with the name power stop on it is worth it. I absolutely love these brakes. I have put them on every single vehicle that I have ever purchased since these first came out. It's hard to perfect something that is already perfect. Excellent excellent buy

Rotors seem quality, with 25 years experience as a mechanic, I had no problem with installation. After 6 months I've had no weird vibrations or issues with my front brakes. I do need to do my rear brakes but so far so well. Quality product

So far so good almost no dust. They don't rust and stopping is good. The break in procedure can be a little tough pending where you live. Multiple hard stops from different speeds. 7-8k on these still better than the other options in the same price range. No dust issues and stopping works well but it's not a huge difference that I've noticed. But my stock set went 130k. Last pic different wheels same brakes. 1/5/17 Brakes still work like new 14k I will be getting these again! 4/29/17 Had to remove brakes due to a piston on the caliper blew. Wish I had taken pictures but the power stop pads and rotors show no sign of wear. Cleaned them up and reinstalled them they looked as they did new. Very pleased with them. Update! So I thought I was being proactive by doing both calipers! The caliper that did not need to be replaced but I did it also seized!!!, It took some life out of the pads and kinda discolored the rotor. Cleaned everything up and relubed replaced caliper with another from our local advance and they still work as good. I wish I gotten the powerstop calipers when I purchased the kit.

WOW The braking is even Beter then the original factory when I bought the Tacoma new. Thew factory brakes shacked especially going downhill. It is so smooth now. I

Great brakes for 2007 Toyota 4 Runner (SR5). Installation was a breeze and everyting you need for the installation is included (rotors, pads, grease, replacement locking pins and clips).

Quedaron perfecto y funcionan muy bien

Perfect fit for my 2018 Toyota Tacoma. The new hardware is nice but I reused the old clips. Now I wait and see how long they last but so far so good!
