I've got the same setup, due to larger, heaver tires, upgraded to 33x12.5 from stock, and I cannot say enough good things about these rotors and pads! Bed them in properly and you're set. If you're towing, or lifted with beefier tires, you can't go wrong!!
At 4:20 the rust is from the caliper metal which has lost its paint where the caliper touches the brake pad. That break pad has stainless steel shim plate on the outside of the pad. So it isn’t the pad which is rusting. Just wanted to share that because you mentioned you weren’t sure which.
Great Review and thanks for posting! I installed PowerStop towing brakes Z36 pads and rotors on the front of my 1997 GMC K1500 suburban a few years back and the stopping power is the best I ever had on this truck. Note, that my K1500 only has disk Brakes on the front , so the rear are drums..
Lmfao!!! Bro…”jackwagon” that’s hilarious, my mom use to say that. Miss those days some good times gone by. Anyhooser, hopefully the brakes will be just as good on my stang. Just bought them and looking at the box contemplating a 2am brake job 🤙
Thanks for the updated review. I have been going back and forth with buying these as I live in New England and was curious as to how these would hold up under our horrible winters. They look to be holding up fine and I will purchase some for my 2015 F150 this week.
I just installed those on my f150 last week (april 2019) So far I love them. I have not did any towing yet. But I do have an RV that I'll be pulling in June. so that will be the real test.

Have them on my 06 Ranger going on 2 years now could not be more pleased with them. No dust, no noise, great stopping power and they look good too all that for under $300 when they finally wear out I will buy again.
@@Roscoschickenwaffles Have the Z26's in the rear and the Z17's in the front. They have been quiet. Very little brake dust on the rears, heck it just might be plain old dust. The front ones do get a light coat of brake dust but with weekly wipedowns using ChemicalBros soap, it becomes simple routine maintenance. All pads still look virtually brand new, plenty of meat.
Don't forget to mount the air valve for your bags. I have a 2014 F150 and about 10 to 12 inches from the receiver on either side of the bumper is a small bolt hole.
Thank you for the video. I am buying a set for my ford transit 250 i haul shelving and tools to the tune of 800 pounds every day and trailer from time to time.
I will be buying a Tacoma soon but I also have an older celica. Doesn't it make sense installing semi-metallic on the Taco cause it uses drums on the rear? I believe OEM is semi-metallic? I may be wrong
I replaced the rear pads on my moms highlander and it seams that she blew through them in under 10k miles, sounds like its metal on metal now. fronts are also bad, not sure what brand the previous owner used, but the rear are napa brand ceramic. gona try these. case 10k is nuts for ceramic IF they actually are that.
Have to love the Chicago winters! I also live on the southwest suburbs of Chicago. I always paint my rotors . I Tape off the surface and paint the cooling fins and drilled portion of my rotors. I use Eastwood’s 2k aerospray. It holds up extremely well and you will be happy with the results. It’s extra work but well worth it!
I considered getting drilled and slotted but I figured since that’s for rain, and where I live we get three inches of rain and those holes are made in China probably the less the better.
Dawg, Power Stop headquarters is in Bedford Park, IL. That's right across the tracks from me and must be pretty close to you. Just installed some Z36s yesterday.
Good channel, I like it! Thanks for the review man! I just put the powerstops on my 2017 f250 regular cab. Only about 300 miles on them. I’m interested to see how they hold up in a Western New York winter with lots of plowing. I haven’t towed with it yet, but I tow a 14’ dump trailer and a 7x14 enclosed. Can’t wait to put the powerstops to the test for myself! I plan on putting them on my ‘17 crew cab too!!
I drive a full-size 2004 Ford expedition with the power stop Z 36 kit all the way around including calipers. He fails to mention that your truck will stop so hard that it will cause A crash behind you.
My power stop brake kit is already shaking when I brake ive only had them on for 1 year lol i took the calipers apart to see the wear and the pads look almost new however the rotors are warped in the front and i need new front rotors. Hopefully i can just machine them and that will fix the problem.
@@HitchinMitchim just ordering a new brake and rotors from max brakes pretty sure they are the distributor for power stop brakes. anyways no one around this area machines rotors down anymore its a old trade... brakes should last a few years not just 1 year...
I bought some MAXX BRAKE on my 17' ram 1500 when i had 30k (km) and now not even 57k they're all warped and making noise... I don't tow anything heavy so i blame my aggressive driving but still is nervous having to go slow or having to change the rotor again Lol, nice video
Two months after I purchased the Power Stop brake kit my right rear caliper failed and began leaking brake fluid. After waiting three weeks for the part, they now tell me the ETA is over a month away. This really sucks. I now have to buy and install a temporary generic caliper while I wait for the Power Stop caliper. Don't do it. Right Rear Leak TT797144
These are okay but instead of the drilled and slotted rotors get the normal coated ones. Those will not have any vibrations no rust and will perform oveall better. I had the drilled rotors on my car and hated that flutter sound they made when you pass by parked cars or highway divider if you're close you can hear that brrrrrrrr sound. It's very suble but you can still hear it. Besides if you have salt on the roads the coated ones from powerstop are great fot that.
looking to replace my pads and rotors all the way around on my 09 civic si. OEM rotors are so expensive and Im a mechanic for Honda and rotors still very expensive . The part that scares me is how much a difference in price these rotors are compared to oem. I don't want to do the job twice and worry about brake pulsation. Thoughts?
I can say I've never felt even a shimmy come from my brakes. Whether I have a trailer or not the pedal is still very responsive. Pedal has never felt spongey always firm and prepared to stop when I need it, especially when some jackwagon cuts me off. I was skeptical too but honestly very happy how they've been performing.
I live in oak lawn close to the highschool you're video came up when I searched for a power srop review pretty cool to see someone on RUclips from my hometown keep it up!
MOST every good rotor is now made in China...few are made here...so far...BUSH CLINTON BUSH OBAMA(aka Barry Soetoro) made sure of this...now that Trump is in...our jobs will be back asap...we used to be the foremost Manufacturing Capitol of Planet Earth...keep watching...but dont get me wrong...I am ordering a set asap for my car...I believe they are GOOD QUALITY PRODUCTS...OK...
You hit the nail right on the head!!! Well put...I used to tow...oh and used to work for a Major Glass Company...driving a van...they will haul to get around you...then slam on their brakes to make that right turn(most were guys being dictated to by their wives...aaarrrggghhh...I mean I'm carrying glass here...ok...never failed to amaze me...durrrrrfffeeeee DUDE
I have a question, I want to put some powerstop performance brakes on my 2019 300 which ones do you recommend? I was thinking the powerstop z23 evos would be fine, if you recommend something else pls let me know thanks and also great video and review can’t wait to install some of powerstop on my 300 😀👍
John Gray saw something about 4:16... when the camera is on the center of caliper, there is a hole and you can see what looks like a crack on the pad..
Have these on my Jeep JK. Not impressed at all. Braking is very unpredictable and more of a slowdown instead of typical braking, like the pads are just not gripping properly. I did the break in routine multiple times and it's never solved the issue. I wish I had just went with Centrics like I normally use.
@@HitchinMitch thanks this helps out alot because they have several different kits and some come with the calipers and some don't. I didn't know if I bought the kit for the first time if I would need to purchase the modified calipers or not. It's good to know some of the kits are plug and play versions instead of an entire overhaul of what is existing on the car
@@HitchinMitch The reason I was taking about the dust I have chevy silverado with oem brakes and never seen brake dust at all, if wanted to upgrade my brakes even a little dust would make me unhappy.
@@bozkurt7673 fully understandable, I'm not one to be outside constantly cleaning my truck since its parked outside year long. But I can say the wheels have never been coated in dust with pads and seem to stay fairly clean. My oem pads would blacken my wheels within a few weeks.
They're still holding up great! Last I checked they have plenty of pad left. And I'm just over 90k miles on the truck. I was just up there there the other day installing a couple cabinets for someone.
I should mention that there is a break-in procedure you should follow. It seemed odd but appears to have worked... Heavy acceleration/breaking several times in a row
Hey was woundering, did you service your brake. By that i mean , on my 2017 ram with stock pads and rotor after 40,000 km the driver side was squeaking. Had to to clean pads and discs. Was woundering if it was just cause of the stock pads ands discs. Its my first pick up, i always had cars, and never had to clean or service the brakes. Was looking in to the z36 kit, cause rams dont stop for shit.. Anyways, thanks for the video.
Squeaking is a good sign...it only means that your disc brake pads are HARD and will last a long time...ok...(I honestly hope it is not the wear indicator brushing up to the rotor itself) best check it out...
I used caliper paint that can found at any autoparts store. I made a video of me painting my calipers. They were just bare metal prior to painting them.
If you're somebody that hates the rust like me try RP-342. Wish I had found it years ago. A smothering cosmoline wax that's really tough. Without oxygen there can be no rust. I have it all over my truck now. Working on it is a breeze. Because all the nuts and bolts are sealed from corrosion
I have seen some good rotors at geobrakes.com not sure what kind of you want but they have got some good selection of heavy duty drilled and slotted ones
Wth you rambling about? Are you doing a review on rotors or brake pads? Why are you talking about shocks and people cutting you off man? Keep it short and to the point?
I've got the same setup, due to larger, heaver tires, upgraded to 33x12.5 from stock, and I cannot say enough good things about these rotors and pads! Bed them in properly and you're set. If you're towing, or lifted with beefier tires, you can't go wrong!!

Absolutely. Over kill is a good thing.

The stock rear brakes on my Mazda CX-5 only lasted 35k miles, so I imagine the Powerstops I replaced them with can't do any worse.

I’ve had them and they’re okay. Like 7/10. I’ve replaced them with the same ones only because I can scan Amazon for them
All I see is videos about the evolution rotors, can someone talk about the lower cost power stop rotors ??
Are the rotors power stop? I'm interested in the rotors.
Yes, the rotors and pads are all from power stop.

4:22 the pad is cracking.

You don’t need new calipers just change your pads maybe your rotors

I usually buy my brakes from www.geobrakes.com
They have pretty good quality and a reasonable price too
At the 4:22 mark, was that pad cracked??
I didn't notice a crack.

Thx for the review, maybe I’ll get me some for my 2010 f150!
Have these on my Jeep JK. Not impressed at all. Braking is very unpredictable and more of a slowdown instead of typical braking, like the pads are just not gripping properly. I did the break in routine multiple times and it's never solved the issue. I wish I had just went with Centrics like I normally use.
Quick question . Did you have to install their calipers or was this kit compatible with your existing setup
Nope, those were my stock calipers that I painted.

How have the power stop brakes held up?
@@mccraejoey82 quite well! I don’t drive too much, I maybe put 5000 miles on them. They stop just as well as when I got them.
@@mccraejoey82 I did get akebono pads instead of power stop. But the rotors are in good shape.
Do these brakes stop better than stock Rotors/Pads ? Are they worth swapping over the OEM components or is the performance equal/similar ?
I unfortunately can't give a scientific definitive answer but from what I can tell, I feel like these are better than the oem brakes.
Thanks, Mitch, Subscribed for updates
What did you paint your calipers with? Did yours come powder coated red?
I used caliper paint that can found at any autoparts store. I made a video of me painting my calipers. They were just bare metal prior to painting them.
Good information
Thanks

It's not too bad compared to OEM. You still get some but it won't change the color of your wheel.
@@HitchinMitch awesome, thanks for the reply.
Is that south suburb near Sauk Village?

To clarify under my truck not over LOL
I'll have to look into this. I have been wanting to undercoat my truck since I bought it.
Are these better than stock ?? As in more stopping power
I couldn't give you an exact scientific measurement but I'd say they stop shorter.
Do u have brakes on your trailer ?
I do but the truck will still take most of the load.
Thanks

Let me know when you find a rotor that won't rust...
These have been very good about not rusting like other rotors I have seen.
But the bottom line is theres not a rotor out there that wont rust unless it's made out of stainless steel...
But I think I'm going to purchase them for my bmw wont spend alot of money on a bmw for parts ....
You do got some Chicago on that accent
Mine were destroyed after 3 years , not worth the money
I was wondering if these were made in the USA. I try to avoid anything made in China
I have seen some good rotors at geobrakes.com not sure what kind of you want but they have got some good selection of heavy duty drilled and slotted ones
Just got rotors today. Disappointed they made in China

WHAT IF GET IN THE MUD DIRT A LOT WHO WIL HOLD UP MUDDIN??
tell me when you have atleast 60,000
Truck is currently at 94k miles so roughly 50k miles on them and still going strong!
Wth you rambling about? Are you doing a review on rotors or brake pads? Why are you talking about shocks and people cutting you off man? Keep it short and to the point?
20,000 miles not look to bad. With towing all the time.
