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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good product! - Braking system

Very nice! And fits perfectly on my 2003 Honda Element. Great packaging in perfect condition. I've been in the brake business for 35 years now and I find this kit a good match for all the hardware you need. The rotors were clearly marked on both the driver and passenger sides. All components are high quality. Significant upgrade from OEM. Didn't notice any extra noise. I found them extremely smooth and completely changed the feel of the car when stopping. The first day or two I had to push the pedal a little harder before everything went back to normal. After a very short pause, they stop marveling. No squeaks, no screeches, smooth, powerful and quiet. Follow directions, including breaking in, and apply the included lube where you're told. Installation took about 45 minutes per side. I would recommend ordering an impact wrench if you don't have one so you can easily remove the 2 bolts that attach to each rotor. (It's $10 - just take it) I would buy it again and I will be buying a similar kit from the same company for our Subaru Outback and F250.

Pros
  • Power Stop carbon fiber ceramic compound significantly improves braking performance compared to traditional ceramic brake pads
Cons
  • Not for everyone
