Premium Power Stop K6350 Front and Rear Z23 Carbon Fiber Brake Pad Kit with Drilled & Slotted Brake Rotors Review

Ordered for my 2013 Focus ST. They look fantastic and perform better than the stock products at a great price. The break-in period lasted only about a hundred kilometers.

Great brake kit - quality pads and discs at a great price. I have about 4k on them and have been happy with them so far. It comes with new boots and caliper pin caps but they don't seem to be as good as the existing OEM ones so I didn't use them but it was nice that they included them in case of damage. I used the supplied synthetic lube and new spring clips.

Bought these for my '13 Focus ST. I've been using it for a few months now and haven't had any problems. I haven't ridden any track days so I have no idea how they perform, but for daily riding they were great. The brake/pedal feel is the same as the original (or better). There is a "humming" sound when the brake is applied, but I've read that this is normal with some slotted/drilled brake discs.

Love these brakes. They work really well and feel like a definite upgrade over the stock models without making any noise. I switched to them after trying (twice) another brand of brake pads which also worked very well but squeaked all the time. They seem to eat up rotors a little quicker than stock pads, but I don't care; The increase in braking friction justifies the cost of the rotors. After all, my wife and grandchildren are in the car and their safety is worth changing rotors more often.

Where to start? This brake kit is cheap, looks good, is grossly underrated and relatively easy to install compared to installing an expensive brake kit. They have a very strong bite on first use and after use the braking power remains linear and does not decrease like some other brake kits do. I have previously owned Brembo and Wilwood brake kits as well as an automotive specific kit and I can say I would place this particular kit above Brembo and below Wilwood. However, this opinion is based…
