Review on πŸ”₯ Enhanced K4134 Front and Rear Z23 Carbon Fiber Brake Pads Kit with Drilled & Slotted Brake Rotors for Maximum Performance by Phillip Reed

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Poor QC/QA on rear kit

I'm giving it three stars instead of one just because I still use them on my car. I'm not sure how they control the quality or verify the products they make from China. The rear kit for my car was not rotated properly to meet the emergency brake. When I first put them on I thought the vibrations were from fitting them correctly, but the next day I drove 40km to work. It almost destroyed my emergency brake pad on one side and I thought I was vibrating from my seat. It was clear from which side by smell and heat, so they pulled it off and called the manufacturer. I had to put my old rotors back in and wait a few more days. When I finally got a new set I put them in and drove to work the next day - same nonsense, just the other way around. Had the exact same problem but with the opposite outboard rotor. The inner surface of the emergency brake was not round, vibrated like hell and destroyed my other emergency brake pad. Since it was the opposite side I was able to make a good set of 4 rotors. Now that they're up and running I can't complain, but this whole process turned an afternoon brake job into a week-long ordeal. Power Stops support was kind enough to help me fix this issue, but I would think twice before doing it again.
