Power Stop brakes
Has anyone used Power Stop brakes, I'm thinking of installing their Extreme pads with drilled and slotted rotors.

I never have good luck with anything other than motorcraft for my super duties

Never used Power Stop. I have used several other brands of pads and slotted rotors though. If the rotors are dimpled and slotted ok. For trucks avoid rotors with holes drilled through the rotor.
|
Drilled and slotted means you're losing braking surface too. Not my cup of tea.
But I've never done better than OEM brakes on my trucks. YMMV. |
My OEM front pads lasted a grand total of 28K, I'm using a fleet NAPA pad now and they stop alright but the noise is something I can't live with and last time I priced Motocraft front rotors for a 2WD DRW they were $350 each.

Check out rockauto for rotors. They have motorcraft and power stop.
|
YES on rockauto.. and motorcraft..
drilled and or slotted are great.. for performance cars.. and light trucks. but for weight.. mass is king... my opinion. ever see a brake pad friction testing machine.... this is a small one. |
Yes I will use Rock Auto :-X04
Some of you aren't looking at the right front rotors, I have a 13 RWD DRW so the options are reduced with Motocraft $182 each and the Power Stop $142 but the only thing Power Stop shows is drilled and slotted. Denny I rechecked and and Power Stop does have a economy for $132 |
cheap and best price is not the same thing.....
2 things I never go cheap on... Brakes and Brakes.. :) old saying. if it does not start.. its an inconvenience.. if is does not Stop.. its a disaster... :) |
What do you think is best, ceramic or semi-metallic.
I know the high end metallic ones on my truck fronts now are destroying the rotors but I have strong brakes. Denny |

Used Power Stop brakes and rotors on my old 99 Superduty diesel.. worked great for me..

I will have to make my decision in May when we are home and I get it up on jack stands and remove all the wheels, I can't see the the rear rotors with the wheels on to see what shape they are in. If the rear rotors are in good shape I will just put pads on them but the fronts will get new rotors and pads but until then I'm going to keep on checking.
