Power Stop brakes???

[Wallace's]

Has anyone tried their Z36 setup? My Sierra has a rear sticking caliper and the rotors and pads are close to being done. The pads are almost worn out, and my rotors are too thin to be turned one more time.

The Power Stop setup is nearly half of what GM wants for rotors and pads. My question is, do they work better than OEM and has anyone gotten a service life out of them yet? I will tow occasionally as well as carry heavier loads.

I have not tried this brand yet and GM is way too over priced for stock replacement,. Reviews seem ok, but I don't want cheap ass parts on my truck.

Just looking for real world feedback. With track cars, I know the cross drilled rotors are prone to crack, but not sure if these would do the same.

Thanks

I have the cross drilled and slotted ones on my tahoe and to me the stopped better. Have had em for well over a year and still great.

I upped my wheels from the stock 18" to 26" and i could barely stop with the stock ones.

Power stop makes great stuff. They've been in the brake game a while. Run those rotors with ebc pads, works awesome. For a dd, I generally won't run slotted and drilled rotors but just going slotted would be fine if u want.

Yeah, the rebuild kit and honing is more $$$/time than buying a replacement. Its just a single pistol caliper. If it were a Brembo, Stoptech, or another nice caliper that was I would, but its just a cheap GM single piston. 2+ pistons, a rebuild kit is worth the money.
