Default Brakes

I only cruise, but would like the aggressive look, or just my preference. I see vendors here sell Powerstop Z/23 Evolution Sport Performance slotted and drilled rotors and pads. Anyone here has or has had experience with Powerstop rotors and pads? My last set is from Napa, stock rotors mid grade pads. 60000 miles and ten and half years on em, think it's time

Recently installed them on my 01 Vert. Bedded them in per the instruction included with the pad. I haven't had any issues since the installation in September 2016. I think the drilled and slotted rotors add a nice touch without sacrificing normal braking function

If you are tracking the car solid rotors are best.

Drilled and slotted are for show maybe some light street use. Drilled rotors crack more often then will be doing brake job again.

If nothing changes in my order status, I'm almost certain that Brake World x drilled and slotted rotors is the way to go. They ship here on the island, and no charge for shipping. I will get my pads locally here in town.
