Review on Enhance Braking Performance with Power Stop K4072 Front and Rear Z23 Carbon Fiber Brake Pads & Drilled/Slotted Rotors Kit by Corey Burgess

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Great brakes, WRONG CLAMPS will turn your Lexus into a FREIGHT TRAIN!

Now I'm not thrilled with the camper. I just installed the front of this kit and the included clamps are rubbing on the rotors and making a ridiculous noise. My Lexus sounds like a FREIGHT TRAIN squeaking like crazy at any speed. The clamps rub even when the brake is released! How the hell did this POWER STOP happen? Now I have to remove all the brake calipers and reuse the old clamps. WHY are these clips not the EXACT size they should be? The last set of brakes I installed from Pepboys had the correct clamps and I had no problems. Pepboys premium rotors are also heavier, hopefully these new rotors are as good or even better than the PB. I finished my project late around 11pm and probably woke up the whole area by leaving my house and returning a few minutes later. I can't even express how annoyed I am at the moment. I probably should have waited to write this review but I really wanted to let Power Stop know that the clips provided are NOT CORRECT! I can't wait to spend more time redoing all the front brake work just to install my old clips. Guess I'll order the clips from Lexus and rebuild my 3X front brakes! UPDATE 7/11/2017 Yesterday I replaced the power stop clips with my old crisp ones, 1/4" difference in width. the included clamps rubbed on my new brake rotors and left a burn mark. The squeak is gone but I can hear it still the whirling noise at low revs when i spin the wheel.let's see if it goes away in a week or so..look at the pics.. 2006 Lexus GS300
