Review on πŸš€ High-Performance Power Stop K2853-26 Front and Rear Z26 Carbon Fiber Brake Pads with Drilled & Slotted Brake Rotors Kit for Enhanced Stopping Power by Gilbert Pfaff

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Dodge Charger R/T Good upgrade. Noisy at first due to the anthers not being properly installed on the caliper fingers.

Okay, I'll admit I hated them at first. The installation went well as they supplied the correct rotors and pads for a 2014 Dodge Charger RT with about 80,000 miles. There are at least three different sizes/types of rotors and pads for the Charger, so I give them credit for that. Delivery came FEDEX in 2 days as promised. Initially I had some issues with the pads making a noise like a train whistle or an ambulance. I tried stopping the procedure several times but nothing seemed to get better. After about 500 km I was ready to stop. I took the wheels off for inspection and found that the dusters on the caliper pins had been folded back into the caliper. The calipers did not move freely. I changed boots when I changed lasts as they came with new lasts. Make sure the boot comes up to the neck of the bolt or the calipers will not slide in and out freely during normal braking. After I did that, the noise went away. The brakes grip very well compared to standard pads. The original pads were noisy (squeaking under braking) but when I replaced them there was 50% left. Do not overtighten the caliper pins. Be sure to use Loctite on the threads. Easy to use, only four bolts per caliper. Without stock. The hardest part was getting to the bolts on the left front wheel.

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Boring Packaging
