Great breaks for your pickup
Easy install and brakes performed exceptionally well traveling through Canada. Truck stops when I need to. A bit noisy when they are cold, but I will take noisy breaks for about ten minutes. Worth the money over other break kits, I will be replacing my brakes in my other truck with power stop.

Look nice and stop well!
Far less expensive to do my own brakes than having the repair shop do them, and this is with all new parts! Cost me less than half what a shop would’ve charged me. Great quality. Included all components and instructions are easy to find online for the process. Fit perfectly and function like new. Look great and come with a rust resistant coating. Definitely follow the instructions to break them in properly. I didn’t break in my first set right, and got glazed rotors as a result, but this time I broke them in solving that challenge.

Quality product. Easy install
2008 Dodge ram 1500. I wanted to drive on them for a while before writing a review. Installation was easy. They are nice and quiet with plenty of smooth stopping power. Definitely would recommend.

Great performing brakes!
Brakes performed as well as other reviews. Make sure your parking brakes aren’t locked up or removing a rear rotors can be a destructive chore! Also, break the brakes in properly as recommended by several reviewers. Would buy these again.

Perfect!!!!
I have installed my own brakes for years and I have not found or used a better product. The day after I had to get on my new brakes pretty hard twice while towing a camper and there was 0 fade or warping. I will definitely buy these again. They continuously bite very well when just touching the brake pedal.

Not bad
Was time for brakes ( front and rear) and this kit was about $50 dollars more than gong to the parts store and buying there brand so I decided to give them a shot. They installed easily and after break in seem like they grab pretty good and haul the truck to a stop pretty quickly. Have yet to tow with them yet but soon will have several trips towing on them and will see how they do then. as far as performance I didn't measure any stopping distances or anything just the good ole seat -o-the-pants meter tells me they are at least as good a stock brake set up maybe a little better after you warm them up. cant complain for right now though i'm happy with how they stop and how they look Update: so had them one for a couple of towing adventure and a few hundred miles. They stop a 5500lb truck well. Even pulling my camper and a full truck I feel an improvement in braking. They do have a slight squeal when cold under really light braking ( like backing out of you parking spot light braking) but after they warm up ( 2-3 good stops) that is gone and they grab like crazy. I love em and am glad I upgraded, my trucks front end has been squeaking for two years now so an extra little squeal when the brakes are cold doesn’t mean much to me., besides, they perform so well after they are warmed up a bit I am willing to overlook it. 2 year/ 20,000 mile update: still holding on strong. All squeaks and squeals are long since gone. Still stopping good. Not showing very much wear at all. Tow our camper every couple of weeks and can’t complain about anything. When it’s time to replace them will be buying another set of these, I’m sold.

Best brake kit I ever bought
These brakes are awesome. I only needed the front right now and will be purchasing the rear soon. Everything I needed part wise was in the box, even the grease. Once on and broken in (they tell you how to brake them in right away for best performance) they worked perfectly. I could feel the difference compared to the old brakes, which were oem, as I bought my truck brand new. Feels like the same stopping power dry or wet. The stopping distance has decreased, and very little dust and, more importantly, no noise. I highly recommend these brakes.

I swapped out my worn out OEM units for a set of these hoping for an increase in performance as well as reduced stopping times and better heat dissipation while towing. I pared this kit with a set of OEM reman calipers to round out the fronts with all new stuff. Firstly, these are very nicely made and nice looking units. The fit and finish on the pads is second to none and the rotors look fantastic, and should for some time to come. I have seen a number of reviews stating that not only do these perform better than stock or OEM, but they also produce significantly less brake dust. An added benefit. The break in process is VERY specific, please be sure to follow this exactly. 5 x 40-10 hard stops, 5 x 35-5 moderate stops followed by 5 min of driving around to cool down. It works, but be sure to do this to bed them in properly or you will likely be disappointed. Give yourself the space to do this properly and safely... I did it at 10 at night to avoid traffic (and looking like a psycho). After bed in the brakes are already superb. Tons of power and significantly better braking than the old OEM units (which still have 50% pad left). They are also coated, so the rotors should look and perform well for years to come. Will be doing the rears soon too now! Pros: - Looks - Performance - Coated rotors for longevity Cons: - None that I can see 18 month update... these brakes perform VERY well. Quiet, powerful, low low dust compared to any other pad I have used, and the rotors still look as new. VERY impressed. Ordering the matching rears ASAP.

Update- I have changed my rating to 5. 30k km later on. 16 Ram 1500. Brakes work great. No brake dust that I can see. Not like OEM. Still look new. No rust at all. I’m surprised living in Southern Ontario the road salt capital of North America. Nice looking brake still. Just looking at them my truck looks faster. They feel and stop great. Definitely would buy again. Actually convinced Mom to get some for her truck and I just installed the full kit on it. I gave only 2 stars because they sent me a pressure washer instead and wanted me to bring it to the post office. Lol. That’s not shopping online. It was a big pain. My brake change was obviously delayed due to this. A few more phone calls than I wanted to make we got it taken care of and another set was sent out. In all it was about 2-3 weeks to get them when it was originally 3 days.

They have only bin installed for a week but so far i am impressed. Notice the stopping and how quiet they are. I only put them on the front but will put them on the back when the back needs replacing. Hope i can say the same in 1 year from now.
