Review on πŸ”₯ Enhance Braking Performance with the Power Stop K6319 Front Z23 Carbon Fiber Brake Pads and Drilled & Slotted Brake Rotors Kit by Nick Ross

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not for 2013 Honda Civic LX with automatic transmission - only for manual transmission

Beware of the buyer! I bought these despite other reviews saying the brake pads are too small. I took some photos and sent them to Power Stop and they agreed they were too small. I was sent the correct pads for next day delivery (after confirming my purchase through Revain). Lo and behold I noticed that the new pads they sent were out of the rotor. It turns out that Honda has 10.3-inch or 262mm rotor specs for the manual transmission and 11.1-inch or 282mm rotor specs for the automatic transmission. Power Stop is currently reviewing information from their catalog and should let me know what they find. I used the brakes to slow down in the procedure and drove to and from work one day. The brakes felt great and there was no noise at all. Be sure to get some extra brake grease/grease as the package provided will not suffice. I gave 3 stars for now as they were easy to make and they were great. I will update my review and post your answer as soon as I get an answer. If you have an automatic transmission, they don't currently have any other kit for it. For now, I would recommend a different location for the kit. However, I know that an automatic transmission requires Z23-914 brake pads. The Z23-1578 brake pads in this kit work with manual transmissions. UPDATE 5/10/2018 (changed my rating from 3 to 2 stars): I spoke to a support manager who informed me that this kit is not a kit for a 2013 Honda Civic Sedan LX Automatic and they are correcting the catalog information have to. They said the problem was that the OEM gave them the wrong information and there was nothing they could do to fix the problem. For my problems they offered me a set of brake pads for another car. I don't like the way this is handled as I ended up having to do the job 3 times because I didn't have the right kit. I left it 2 stars anyway considering I had the right parts on my machine in 2 days, they work great. If it weren't for what I believe to be a problem with Power Stops (rather than Revain) I would probably buy more parts from them for future brakes/rotors. For me the problem is not the error but the answer. They got me the parts I needed with next day delivery, but the $50 parts offer (when it might cost them $30) seems like the extra work I needed to change 2 front brake pads and 1 change of the front brake disc cannot be justified. I can't be a $100 an hour mechanic, but the extra work of a conservative 2.5 hours seems out of place.

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • Long delivery time
