Review on Enhanced Performance Kit: Power Stop K1588 Front Z23 Carbon Fiber Brake Pads with Drilled & Slotted Brake Rotors by Jeff Richardson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great performance, great price.

These are by far the best brakes I've installed. They mop the floor with AC Delco and/or Napa Premiums which I usually use (pads and rotors). I once installed rotors where the runout is less than .002" and they are smooth as silk. I've followed their break-in procedure to the letter and the brakes on the car (I just did the front but now the rear) are stronger than ever and they don't go away at all - I really have to let go of the brake pedal because they compress more and more as I slow down . Admittedly I've only had them on my car for a few weeks but so far it's been a day-night comparison to everything else I've had at my Grand Prix.

Pros
  • High test scores for grip and durability
Cons
  • Poor maintainability
