Powerstop K6560-36 vs Detroit Axle Drilled/Slotted Brake Kits

[mics]

Looking to replace rotors and pads on front and rear (not wanting to replace calipers right now).

Anyone out there with actual experience on the Powerstop K36 drilled and slotted kit versus the Detroit Axle drilled and slotted kit?

I have both the Detroit pads suck besides that it’s decent for the money
I swapped to the power stop on my Dailey driver Tahoe she stops on a dime just about however after awhile the pads started slinging more dust then I’d like but it took awhile to get to that point. Probably swap pads down the road

So follow up question there... Would you go:

Powerstop kit, then swap to detroit pads down the road?
Detroit kit, then swap to powerstop pads down the road?

Detroit axle is about the lowest of the low. GM OE or ACDelco Professional/Gold is much more enduring.

Since we're going the route of other manufacturers...

Anyone have experience with this kit, or R1 Concepts in general? I spend a good portion of the winter in Montana, so the plating/corrosion protection would be nice.

I’ve used R1 and powerstop. Ceramic pads, slotted and drilled. Both were fine.

No I’d get the power stop rotors and probably some ac delco premium pads every ceramic pads I’ve tried has been ****** as far as dust that’s my only complaint.
I will say power stop rotors have held up a lot better than the detriots have.
I haven’t had any experience with r1 brakes.
I did get a set of Callahan brakes that’s held up good it was the front rotors pads and powder coated red calipers I got them because it was cheaper then the power stop at the time I got them off eBay I haven’t found any on Amazon yet.

Thank you both! I have Powerstop rotors/drums on my Tundra and Tacoma and I feel like they've done well. I think I'm going to go with the R1 Super Duty kit. I don't plan to tow/haul too often, but it'll be nice to have when I do. I'll come back to this to report after I've had some time to test.

I swapped my front pads for Akebono's a while back...no dust whatsoever...

However i'm getting ready to change them out and was wondering about the Powerstop deal...

I bought these for my daughter's lifted Sierra. Same part numbers for Yukon XL. Don't forget the drag reduction clips! 18K1025SS and 18K1027SS
