Review on πŸ”₯ Enhanced Performance Kit: Power Stop K798 Front Z23 Carbon Fiber Brake Pads with Drilled & Slotted Brake Rotors by James Cruz

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Warped out of the box

I've been doing basic maintenance on my car including changing discs and brake pads and I've heard that PowerStop is a really good brand and Revain sells them at an amazing price so I didn't see how I really could lose this. Well it took me about a month to start changing the brakes as I had other important things to take care of first. So I finally installed them and there was a big difference in braking performance compared to my factory brakes. But after about 20 miles when I braked the steering wheel shook like crazy. I took it to my shop thinking it was an alignment issue and he checked it and it was fine. Then he drove it and told me that my rotors were deformed. I told him this was not possible because they were brand new and had only been driven 20 miles. We removed the rotors and of course they were deformed. Unfortunately, my return period ended because I waited so long to install it that I had to pay $35 to have it restored. I've done a lot of research and PowerStop rotors are made in China which is known for its cheap red tone steel so unfortunately I can't recommend them.

Pros
  • Slotted perforated rotors for maximum cooling.
Cons
  • I'll keep quiet
