I had 2 sets of the Z36 Extreme Truck and Tow kits front/rear, and did not have good luck with them, nor customer service. There are others here that have though. I finally went with Detroit Axle kit. IMO outperforms the Powerstop at a fraction of the cost.

I’ve had them for about 5k miles. Not the cross drilled slotted rotors but the coated ones for rust prevention. They work great so far. The original rotors,pads and calipers were falling apart from rust at 50k miles.

Check the 6.7 forum for more good or bad comments. Most seem to think the PS Brakes are on of the better ways to go. I was planning on replacing my pads with them. Ended up selling the truck before installing the pads I ordered.

For the past 30 years I have used brakes from CarboTech Engineering and rotors from Diversified Cryogenics (ie Frozen Rotors"). Low dust, CE or .49 (which is equal to or better then OE), almost no fade even in high demanding conditions, quiet, good pedal feel and very good wear!!!!

I used a Power stop kit off Amazon. Pads and rotors. Also replaced the soft lines with a kit from Crown.
Everything worked fine but the rear pads... completely wrong for the calipers...had everything apart so I just bought whatever the only parts store in town with anything in stock had.
So far so good...235k on the truck and doing good.

I installed the rear caliper, pad and rotor kit this past summer and they've been working great. However, I only have about 3k miles on them.
Previously, with OEM calipers, rotors and pads I was getting lots of smoking during heavy braking. Temperatures measured were in the 500°F+ mark when measured using my infrared thermometer.
The Power Stop components read in the 250-300°F range now and the braking feels much more positive.
I've run Power Stop components in all my vehicles for about 5 years now and have no complaints.

I've installed them on at least 10 cars and trucks and never had anything but good results, drilled/slotted and ceramic pads. I have sold all the cars but one and although they call me with other complains one thing most of them say is how awesome the brakes are..
Ford Calipers are know chit, they seem to thing the plastic cup was a good idea, to many times I have seen them break or turn to the side in the caliper, my 150 had new brakes every 8/10k miles until I bought some good calipers, seems that was the root of the problem from the start.
