Review on ๐Ÿ”ฅ Enhanced Performance Front and Rear Brake Pads with Drilled & Slotted Carbon Fiber Rotors Kit by Power Stop (Model K2728) by Chip Palmer

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent equipment. Excellent performance. Amazing price. These are rotors with a diameter of 280 mm. Don't be a titled idiot.

I first bought them when they were selling for $117. This is a bargain for a complete set of brakes of this quality. The price quickly returned to around $244 within a week of my purchase. I drive a 1998 Volvo S70 GLT without large brakes (ie 280mm not 302mm). Make sure you get your model right, and measure your own brakes if necessary, as the Revain system isn't overly interested in subtle differences in the trim of the same car from year to year. Don't buy them and then whine if they don't fit because you didn't test them or ask a question. They will not fit most "R" models. These brakes are fantastic. This is the second car I have installed one of the PowerStop kits in and I am very impressed with its performance, smoothness and low dust levels. When going downhill or making sudden stops, I lose less braking power and braking performance is greatly improved. Adding steel brake lines is a big deal, but they also help and look great behind the rims. I have to paint the calipers black or silver because the real rust color just belies the shiny new rotors. The equipment provided is fantastic. They give you new spacers, clips and pins for the front and rear rotors. I've reused most of my equipment, but now I have new spares in case I need them. There were some problems with the delivery. At first they just sent me the front brakes, but Revain customer service came to the rescue and ordered me a new set for free.

Pros
  • Dual-layer, high-temperature rubber pads isolate noise for virtually silent braking.
Cons
  • Not the best
