Rotors are Warped after one year
rotors and Pads looked Great. i was really excited when i purchased this kit. i purchased for a 2014 Honda Pilot because i thought the factory setup was pretty weak, i wanted something more aggressive. i followed the break in instructions which i thought seemed a bit extreme. but i thought it must be a good sign if a manufacturer wants you to break that frequently and hard. i personally have not noticed any better braking since i installed this setup. however, there is no brake dust to be seen, and the rotors still look new. i installed this kit at 46,000 miles, and i currently have 65,000 miles on my pilot. i already have some noticeable pulsing and shimmy due to warped rotors. i hoped these would be noticeably better at stopping my pilot, and would last for years, but neither of those seems to be the case.

Good Brake Kit, Not Great
These were installed on a 2012 Honda Pilot Touring. All the parts fit fine and there were no installation issues. That said not all the hardware is included. The clips that secure the brake pads are missing. So you need to reuse the old clips.I personally am not a fan of reusing brake hardware. The cleaner the better IMO.The pad grease included with the kit is not enough. It wasn't an issue for me as I only use Silicone Paste on Honda brakes and have a large bottle on hand.Once installed I did the break-in procedure as recommended by Powerstop.The brakes are smooth, no vibrations and as previously stated the fit is good.What I have found is that the OEM brakes had a firmer feel to them. The Powerstops stop fine but I find them a little softer than the OEM brakes I replaced. Not something I expected from a " Performance Brake Kit".The brakes do look great.

Everything in the kit works great except for the clips holding the brake pads!
I would have given it 5 stars if the pad clips are the right size!!!The rotors are great and so are the brake pads. Got rid of the warping problem with the original rotor/pad. I did a full "break in" procedure according to the instruction. So far, 6 months later and they are still working great.But I had do it twice. Why? Because the pad clips were the WRONG DIMENSIONS!!I checked all the pads and rotors and made sure everything were okay, but overlooked the clips. The clips didn't have enough inner clearance. It had less than 1 mm gap between the rotor and the clips. So, occasionally during certain braking motion, it would rub against the brand new rotor!! So, I had take the clips off and put the old/original pad clips back on. The difference were as much as 2mm between the original and new clips. I double checked pads and rotors again with calipers and they were all correct. I guess the brake pads just got the incorrect clip size. It was for 2014 Honda Pilot Touring.So, lesson learned that I should have checked/compared each and every piece of hardware before installation.Beside that little detail that cost me some extra labor, everything else work great so far.

8k miles and WARPED ROTORS.
I purchased two different sets of rotor / pad kits from power stop for two different vehicles. Both professionally installed and both sets of pads and rotors are warped with less than 8k miles!!!! I can’t believe it. Super angry about this purchase. Highly recommended NOT TO PURCHASE POWERSTOP. after doing research online I found out I’m not the only one with the same issue. I want my $800 back please and thank you. But of course we know that won’t happen.

Good Brakes, but They Squeak
I put the Z23 pads on two cars. They are fine brake pads and they stop well, but they squeak when cold. The squeaking occurs when backing out of the driveway, or during first stop of the day. The squeaking goes away after the pads are warm. I installed these pads using the clips, and applied brake grease to the back of the pads where they contact the calipers and caliper pistons. Power Stop customer support was no help; they recommended I apply brake grease to the back of the pads. I told them I already did that and they just repeated the recommendation.

Very Complete Kit
I installed this kit on 2014 Pilot and all parts installed without any issues. After 3 weeks of use I've noticed considerable amounts of brake pad dust forming on the wheels. This dust was never visible from the OEM pads after 60K miles of use. I've also noticed on a couple occasions a slight squeak from the front brakes on the initial stops of the morning commute. These two items are minor annoyances and I doubt most people would even notice them. And so far neither have effected the stopping ability of the new brake system. I'll update review again in the upcoming months.

I would give 5 stars, BUT...
I really like these brakes and rotors, but there is only one huge problem- QUALITY CONTROL. Unfortunately, one of the rotors they sent me has an imperfection that is causing a ticking sound similar to a baseball card in a spoke. It's driving me nuts and it will probably cause a faster wearing of the brake pad. This is really bumming me out. I live in the Virgin Islands and rely on my brakes more than the average vehicle. If you read this, Power Stop folks, please message me with a solution. Thanks.

Great brake replacement kit
Found this to work very well and seems to be holding up. They have been installed on our 2013 honda pilot for approx 6 months now. I haven't noticed any issues with the brakes so far. I installed these myself and completed all 4 in approx 4 hours with little to no issues. All parts were included. I was satisfied with these parts.
