LastedWay longer than the Toyota stuff

I purchased these for my 2015 Tacoma. Lots of road trips camping with lots of weight in the bed. Moderate four-wheel. Uphill and downhill driving in Colorado...... They lasted 6 years. I just purchased these again... This is probably my first Amazon review.

This is the third vehicle in the last 5 years that I have installed the Power Stop pads and rotors on, and again I am astounded at how good they are. I have owned nearly every type and make brakes and rotors over the years and these are without exception the best.Some Background: We have a 2003 Jeep Liberty in the family since it was new. It's a great vehicle in every way, work. towing trailers, daily driving and four wheeling in the AZ desert. The stock brakes were adequate but not great. When my daughter took over the car I was highly motivated to find more stopping power for the Jeep. I did a lot of research and found (at the time) Power Stop brakes on a performance parts website. Taking a chance I bought the kits for the front and back. I installed them, followed the the simple break in procedure and could not believe the difference! I am not joking in saying that the Liberty has twice the stopping power. The stopping distance is less and the immediate stopping response is totally new for this vehicle. If I had not experienced it myself. I would not have believed it. The drilled and slotted rotors mated with the carbon fiber resin pads is amazing and after 5 years with tons of driving her back and fourth to College out of state through the mountains, they are still working perfectly.I just put them on my 2004 4Runner Limited and again the braking response is a huge notch up and so smooth. The 4Runner has this silly brake assist motor function that I really don't like, as for me it dulls the braking response unlike my Chrysler products. The Power Stop brakes nearly corrects that response and makes the brakes more precise and a pleasure to use.I also have a 2004 Dodge work truck that has big brakes and works well, but I found that the pads, no matter what I used would always squeak eventually on this truck driving me crazy. A flaw in the design. Some years ago I cut the existing rotors and put on Power Stop pads. Again the results were amazing as the truck stops better and no noise!If you want the best, do yourself a favor and buy Power Stop brakes especially the Drilled/Slotted Brake Rotors and Z23 Evolution Ceramic kit.Two Points of interest on the brakes:1. Follow the Break In directions!!! There is a simple driving procedure where you have to accelerate and brake 10 times for specific speeds and then drive for at least 5 minutes to cool them down. This heats up the resin and bonds it to the rotors. It only needs to be done once right after you install them. I always installed and broke them in at night so there is less traffic and I can follow the 10 stops properly.2. On the Jeep during emergency (hard) braking, I do hear the brakes make a specific sound. It sounds like almost like a down shift on a manual shifting car. It is not loud but it is there. I figure it is part and parcel of an aggressive drilled and slotted rotor and or the pads. It is only heard during very hard braking and does not bother us at all. I don't really hear it on the other vehicles.

Fantastic

I'm going to get this product for stars, I should give it to stars but I feel like most of the issues are ran into Ware Amazon's fault. I first received a set in my initial thought was it is very decent qualit i'm going to get this product for stars, I should give it two stars but I feel like most of the issues I ran into Were Amazon's fault. I first received the box and began to put the brake pads and rotors on my vehicle. After I put the rotors on I soon found out that they were too small, I was shocked to see this as Amazon had told me this item would fit my vehicle. Just a word of caution there are two different diameters of rotors for a Toyota forerunner limited, my advice would be to go to your local O'Reillys auto parts store and get rotors and brakes car parts are just too iffy for Amazon. Unless they add more detailed specs when choosing parts.

Brakes were close to metal on metal. They were pulsating before. These parts were a perfect fit and the pulsation is gone. Why original review was a 1 star since I threw a fit that the item arrived a day late.

This is the second set of power stop brakes I have used. First was on a 2009 Jeep Wrangler JK, second on my 2017 Toyota Tacoma. In both cases, easy to follow installation instructions and break-in instructions. Stopping power is much improved, and feels much smoother.

This kit comes with everything to replace your rotors and pads. Installation went well with no issues. I can't say how they will do on longevity yet, but so far everything is good.
