Review on Enhance Braking Performance with Power Stop K6707 Z23 Carbon Fiber Brake Pads and Drilled & Slotted Brake Rotors Kit by Ray Reeltalk

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Get rotors but not pads

I installed this kit on Sunday in November. 13. On Tuesday 15 November I changed the pads. the kit itself is good. The rotors are designed for heavy-duty applications and wear sensors are also included. My problem is the brake pads. Ceramic mass is not suitable for heavy trucks GL. I noticed it immediately when I wore it to the procedure. On the 5th hard braking I noticed the brakes go away. After some research I found that the trade-off is: more wear but less dust with a ceramic compound. the heating area is also smaller. This means the hotter these brakes get, the less effective they are. You WILL GET hot under the heavy load of this truck. OEM brakes are semi-metal. I purchased front and rear pads from my local NAPA and installed them. Already during a test drive I noticed a big difference. Powerstop sells a semi-metal compound kit. Don't waste your money on this ceramic compound kit. They'll replace them sooner if you don't come across something first. Don't take my word for it. Google ceramic brakes vs. semi-metal brakes and see for yourself
