What happened on the back side?

Comparing, Power Stop and Brembo; went through swaps with both in the last year.

So... I did a full brake job on the kids Grand Cherokee, did Power Stop all the way around, rotors, pads, everything. They are great on the Jeep, very happy, they have about 15k miles on them now.

On my Ram 1500 a pad stuck in the rear; so new rotors / pads, went with Brembo (not the calipers as it already had the larger calipers, just the rotors / pads went to Brembo).

All in all,
For the money the Power Stop's are great. I would put them as good if not slightly better then OEM for stopping, squeaking, dust, etc. Her Jeep is a Limited so it has the big Jeep brakes already, went with the top line Power Stop for the Jeep.

The Brembo's are just at another level, they are more money, but they are larger and out stop OEM by a fair margin. No squeak, no dust and they are very useable when cold (for comparison the vette's Brembo's are unfun when cold), definitely would do again on the Ram.

pretty sure he had a stuck caliper, nothing inherent to the rotor would cause that.

"Power Stop" Rotors any good ?

Yes. I put them and some new pads on my 1997 2 door and they've been solid

Yes. However I replaced all the calipers a year ago, and now I have a rear rotor taking a crap in the same fashion. Just sharing my experience, not trying to be a negative Nancy.

rotor isn't going to make the caliper stick, I have had 2 new sets of gmt900 calipers go bad back to back they don't seem to hold up as well as the gmt800's did

Do you think the harsh winters and salt have an impact on the drilled rotors more than the smooth ones?

rotors are steel they will develop rust in hours of just sitting even here in ca where they do not use salt or anything.

I agree but around here it is a different level of rust. Stuff gets ****** fast! It's like any pit in the surface turns into a ridge around the rotor super fast. Here are some that are in the scrap bin today. I am not saying I wouldn't run them but I wonder if the life expectancy would be lower around here. I think @89Suburban has experience.
