Review on Enhanced Braking Performance: Power Stop Front K1043 Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Brake Pad and Drilled/Slotted Rotor Z23 Daily Driver Kit by Justin Cranford

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Brakes with transverse holes/slots MANDATORY!

I drive a lot on the highway, which usually means decelerating from high speed to a complete stop, resulting in accidents, construction work and other delays on the road. My original 2003 Honda Accord brakes which were replaced at the dealer but a few hard stops on the freeway killed them, they were never the same. I think they warped from the heat. I noticed that they were good for stops under 45mph, but anything above that speed was absolutely awful and dangerous to come to a complete stop. I decided it was time for an upgrade and did a little research online and decided to fit these heavy duty power stop brakes to my car as a replacement for the stock Honda brakes. What difference does it make, I've had to test them out on the Autobahn multiple times and they stop for a dime without hesitation. You know that with these pads and discs you can stop to 0 with ease, even at highway speeds. The brakes are beautifully coated and still feel like new. I would recommend these brakes to anyone who needs something better than stock. The rotors are packaged separately with left front and right front wheel labels so you don't have to guess which is which and you know you have the right parts. I've had brakes in the past where they incorrectly give you two identical sides. Delivery was quick and installation was easy. An installation guide is also included, which is always a good idea to have on hand. Overall great product and quality.

Pros
  • Low Dust Braking, tested by a third party on a car in Los Angeles, showed an average of 30% less dust than the original braking system.
Cons
  • New Competitors Have Emerged
