Review on 🚗 Enhance Your Vehicle's Braking Performance with Power Stop K137 Front Brake Kit - Drilled/Slotted Brake Rotors and Z23 Evolution Ceramic Brake Pads by Jason Page

This is the 3rd car I have fitted Power Stop brake pads and discs to in the last 5 years and once again I am amazed at their quality. I have owned almost every type and made brakes and rotors over the years and they are invariably the best. Some background information: We have had a 2003 Jeep Liberty in our family since it was new. This is a great car in every way, work. Trailer towing, daily driving and 4WD in the Arizona wilderness. The stock brakes were adequate but not great. When my daughter took over the car, I was highly motivated to find more stopping power for the Jeep. I did a lot of research and found Power Stop brakes (at the time) on a parts website. I took a chance and bought front and back sets. I installed it, followed a simple hack procedure and couldn't believe the difference! I'm not kidding when I say the Liberty has twice the stopping power. Braking distances are shorter and the instantaneous braking response is entirely new for this car. If only I hadn't experienced it myself. I wouldn't believe it. The ported and slotted rotors mated to carbon fiber pads are amazing and after 5 years of riding back and forth from state over mountains to college they still work great. I just put them on my 2004 4Runner Limited and again the braking response is very high and so smooth. The 4Runner has this silly brake assist feature that I really don't like because unlike my Chrysler products it softens the brake response. The Power Stop almost corrects this response and makes the brakes more precise and pleasant to use. I also have a 2004 Dodge work truck that has big brakes and works well, but I found that no matter what I used, the pads always squeaked on this truck and drove me crazy. design flaw. A few years ago I cut the existing rotors and installed Power Stop pads. Again, the results were amazing as the truck stops better and with no noise! If you want the best, do yourself a favor and buy Power Stop brakes, specifically slotted/slotted rotors and the Z23 Evolution ceramic kit. Two interesting things about the brakes: 1. Follow the break-in instructions! There is a simple driving sequence where you have to accelerate and brake 10 times to reach a certain speed and then drive for at least 5 minutes to cool down. This will heat the resin and bond it to the rotors. This only needs to be done once right after the installation. I always installed and disassembled them at night so there is less traffic and I can track the 10 stops properly.2. On a jeep, during (hard) emergency braking, I hear the brakes make a specific noise. It almost sounds like a manual car downshift. It's not loud, but it's there. I believe it's an essential part of an aggressive rotor with ports and slots and/or linings. It's only audible under very hard braking and doesn't bother us at all. On other machines it is not audible.
