Power stop drilled/slotted rotors & ceramic pads

[TDHJSilver06]

Just order from Amazon and will be in stalled over winter. Front set will be done first then ordering rears around New Years so then Ready for spring.
Question is has anyone else ordered or used these pads & rotors before? Only a few reviews from amazon. Having almost 47,000 miles on the original brakes thought it was time to get new ones before they start warping. Hate vibration from the pedal. Any opinions are helpful.

I have installed Power stop drilled/slotted rotors and Hawk cermaic Pads. They are awesome...no problems for the past 3 years.

I use POWER SLOT slotted non drilled/ HAWK HP pads ............Just fantastic.

Got them also .... But used the Wagner ceramic quiet stops .... No complaints.

Just remember, as with any brake set-up you buy, just be gentle for the first few miles as you have to break them in.

Ok. How many times have you heard of someone crashing into something by forgetting to pump the brakes after initial start up after a brake job?

But about 2 years and 20,000 miles ago, I purchased a full set of drilled/slotted rotors with a full set of pads from a store on eBay. Paid around $300 for everything. So far no issues. Although for a while I was getting a rattle from the front driver side wheel. Turns out the retainer clip fell out and the brake pad was a bit loose. But all in all it was a good deal and I don't regret getting them.

DO you have the Amazon link for the rotors?

I bought a set of PowerStop brakes about a year ago and just went back to the stock brakes. I didn't really like the pedal feel of drilled and slotted rotors, but that's just me; I'm gonna try to find some GT500 14" takeoffs instead. PowerStop definitely had more bite than stock though.

Hmm .... None.

There are a few listing for Power Stop setups on Amazon.
I believe there are few kits for each vehicle stage V6 and V8. So would be easiest to enter vehicle info on site to be sure of proper fitment. Don't want to misrepresent part numbers. Also read reviews from previous buyers to see what vehicle they installed them on. Hope that helps.

Have had mine for 6 month's and like them a lot. paid $125.00 on ebay without a problem.

Update!
Finally have full set of front & rear drilled and slotted rotors with ceramic pads! Will be installed in next few weeks since spring is on the calendar but not out my door. More snow means more garage time for upgrades to be installed. Have to look at the bright side, more quality time with my pony.

Any other things to look at since I have about 45000 miles on the car? I plan on servicing all brake sliders. Will look at all the tie rod boots, all ball joints, and the bushings to see how they are holding up.

Any other suggestions please post. Thanks.

Installed the Power Stop rotors and Hawks pads. I went a little further; also replaced brake lines with the upgraded ones from the Boss 302 and changed to silicone high temp. brake fluid.

Looking to install these in June, picked up a full set from AM a couple months ago. Also thinking of doing the break lines, I take it stringtheory you have a GT with Brembos since the 302 line is designed for that brake system. Anyone know how the Russell compares to the J&M. The J&M cost more but that doesn't mean they're better.

No Brembos. The 302 upgrade is specific to '11-14 GT's and '07-12 GT500's.
