Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Enhanced Truck and Tow Brake Kit: Power Stop KC1990-36 Front Z36 with Upgraded Calipers by Damian Toupal

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Part sizing mismatch and poor tolerances

Three of the four caliper bolts were the right size and the fourth required a smaller socket head for tightening/loosening. Also, after assembly, the rotor was in physical contact with the caliper (near the top of the caliper facing the rotor) and after I rode it, the rotor went through a rut in the caliper. I probably shouldn't have driven it, but I was in a bind. It seems to have a clear path now that it's no longer in contact, but it has eaten away at the powder coating and left a lot of metal dust that had to be cleaned off afterwards. It's now the third day and the brakes are working well as far as I can tell. I just hope these brakes last a long time. The only positive in my experience was the beauty of the details, they looked amazing! Fit and tolerances of the parts needed to be much better, as well as better control over the quality of the parts included in the kit (e.g. caliper bolts).

Pros
  • Perforated and slotted washers keep brakes cool in even the most extreme conditions
Cons
  • So far so good
