Review on Enhanced Performance Brake Kit: Power Stop K1548 Z23 Carbon Fiber Brake Pads with Drill & Slot Brake Rotors for Front and Rear by Tim Wheeler

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Rotors and pads fit but seals do not

I purchased a Power Stop K1548 ceramic front/rear brake pads and cross hole/slotted rotor kit for my 2001 Pontiac Trans AM WS6. First I mounted them on the two front wheels. After installing everything, I drove fast and heard a horrible squeak from both wheels. I removed the wheels and investigated the problem. It turns out that the seals that come with the pads pull the rotors. They look about the same as the originals that came with the car, but on the outside they aren't. I put the old gaskets on the new pads and now everything is fine.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Thin
