Review on Improved Performance: Carbon Fiber Brake Pads with Drilled & Slotted Brake Rotors Kit from Power Stop - Front and Rear K1365-26Z26 by Steven Nina

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It fitted my 2005 Grand Marquis snugly. Noticeable improvement in braking performance

This was my first stop and it went smoothly. The details matched exactly and qualitatively. I used my own silicone paste and green brake grease on the slide pins/stainless steel sliders and I don't hear any brake noise at all. I'm draining the old fluid and upgrading to DOT 5.1. Very happy with these rotors and pads, I saved about $500 doing it myself and I have the best parts for the money. I would buy myself a new pair of sneakers to put on. It can be difficult. Once you've got the old ones off, insert the new ones with the retaining clips, then make sure they're centered properly and use a couple of zip ties that connect together around the perimeter to hold them together while you're doing the connect springs. I bent the new spring and tried just doing it with the retaining clips, but it has some play and moves when you try to hook the spring.

Pros
  • Easy adjustment
Cons
  • Neutral position
