Review on 🔥 Enhance your stopping power with Power Stop K5510 Front and Rear Z23 Carbon Fiber Brake Pads and Drilled & Slotted Brake Rotors Kit by John Iverson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

BUY, YOU WON'T REGRET IT! . . . up to 50,000 miles ;-)

Bought this set for my Ford Flex and LOVE THEM! Easy to install, very quiet and appears to have a significantly shorter stopping distance compared to the OEM. As other reviewers have said, BURN THEM according to manufacturer's instructions (included)! Install and burn them correctly and they will work perfectly! I didn't notice the noise mentioned by another reviewer, my "quiet as a church mouse". They look GOOD behind those wheels and I haven't noticed any "dust" off the pads yet! Driven about 12,000 km since installation. WILL DEFINITELY be buying POWERSTOP brake parts again for my other cars, they are a great product. . . and install, and while I teach my sons to work on the "four-wheelers". . . . Sept. Update 19/2018: Now with about 50,000 miles on this set, the rear works perfectly. The front is a different story: one rotor has a bronze-blue streak or two ("burning”? or lack of even metal hardening?), the pads are VERY dusty (black dust on my silver rims, phew!) and this one got opened up after high-speed riding the freeway much louder. Makes a VERY annoying low hum (although no vibration) that I have to apologize for when family/friends ride with me. The pads on this side have shrunk to 3/32" or less, the "good" pads on the front are still a lot thicker. I would rate them lower at this point in their life, maybe 2-3. Me still trust them HIGH. and the braking distance doesn't seem to have deteriorated. Just aesthetically not a very good product at this stage of its life. Will try to replace the fronts soon and possibly switch to another brand, sorry POWERSTOP!

Pros

Cons
