Power stop rotors and pads

[fozzi58]

Got the power stops on all 4 corners of my avalanche plus the calipers and I installed a set of steel lines and HAWK pads. I can bring it to a stop from 60mph in a shorter distance than my '00 Trans Am. The pads make the difference. I'll have to try the wagner pads when I upgrade the brakes on the Burb.

Do you have vacuum or hydraulic booster? I'm having similar issues. Replaced pads and rotors all around with Raybestos Advanced tech, bled system. I"m at the top with no fading, but it still seems like I can't stop sometimes. Starting to wonder if maybe its booster related.

I’m very happy with my power stop cryo slotted rotors and pads. Also have you changed out lines, it is possible that you have a line that’s collapsing under pressure or not releasing like it should. Also how did you bleed the system? You could have some air trapped in the system. The best way to bleed the system is with use of a scan tool. A set of stainless steel lines will make a huge difference.

Update got the new wagner oex pads installed,i have to say not that much better got only 60 miles on it -but i want way more stooping power than it has.Time to experiment-stainless lines are next try.Im betting that makes a huge diff it did on my car.Any one have any experience with the stainless upgrade,did it work who makes the best kit.

Keep in mind with slotted cross drilled rotors. They will make more brake dust that solid rotors. The edges of slots are like using a sandpaper on wood. Every pass of a slot is keeping the surface of the pads optimal.

I hear you im ok with a little dust it gets cleaned every week.I think i have put maybe 800 miles on it in a year.I want a stronger pedal not mushy shit.I put the stainless lines on my car and motorcycle and its a HUGE diff-in braking and confidence.I might be seeing things but looking at the rubber hose by were it goes in the caliper it looks swollen now that i see the pic..I wasn't even looking at it when the wheel was off.That rubber hose looks alot longer than my car lines i put on.Alot more area to flex.I can say this about power stop they stand behind their product.I got sent 4 rotors and new z36 pads and a set of semi mettalic just in case.Anyone need 4 rotors and new pads.

Wow I'm glad I saw this. My rotors and pads literally came in today and I shipped the pads right back to Amazon thanks to this thread. I honestly bought the rotors for looks and the pads for maybe a little more stopping power for the 33's. Kind of scary that they're marketed as "tow" brake pads.

I'm interested in how the brake lines work out for you, I've never done stainless lines on any of my vehicles.
