Review on K2137 Evolution Drilled Slotted Ceramic by David Caldwell

Pass the pads, just order the rotor

carbon fiber/ceramic pads are junk! I installed the pads and they braked, hard braking from 45 to 10 mph 5 times, moderate braking from 35 to 5 mph 5 times, then run min 5 minutes. I smelled the smell of boiling resin. At that moment I had a very soft pedal and it took me extra effort to stop. I've been riding it for a week and the soft pedal hasn't gone away. Bleed all brakes, haven't decided. Went to Autozone, bought semi-metal pads that were $20 and now I have brakes that stop for a dime. In the photo a page after a week's driving, approx. 250 km.

Pros
  • Power Stop carbon fiber ceramic compound significantly improves braking performance over traditional ceramic pads
Cons
  • I vaguely remember
