Power Stop Z23 Brake Kit Review

[@TreesOnTheBeach]

More sales pitch than review. :(

[@jamesg8246]

Yes it is, but I will say I just ordered the Z23 full kit with the stainless steel braided brake lines (minus calipers) for a good price from CARID and they are really nice so far. Biggest improvement is braking from speeds above 80mph. The stock brakes would start shuddering and did not like it at all. These are solid and smooth under pressure. Time will tell as it's only been a week or so but so far so good.

This is NOT a review. This is a sales pitch. I'll give you a real review. I've had the pads and rotors on my '08 Accord's all for wheels for about a couple of months now.The first few days the ride was incredible. About 1 month later I started hearing a mean grinding sound. I took apart ALL FOUR pads + rotors and found nothing. I decided to try and embed the pads a little more with repetitive breaking. A month later my pads are sticking to the rotors causing drag. I doubt these pads will last into the summer. The rotors look pretty but all this hassle isn't worth it especially when I'll need to replace them soon. There are many reviews of people complaining about cracking rotors and premature wear. Avoid this brand and stick to either genuine OEM brands or get a better set at your local auto parts store.

@@carid . That's what I thought too. I took the car to the dealership and they said the calipers are fine.

@@MrSupernova111 out of curiosity did you bed in the brakes when you installed them?

[@teal_2v338]

I think that its more of a caliper problem then pad and rotor! Like carid said.. clean them and put some new grease on the slides piston.. rebuild your caliper .. cuse i got this kit on my mustang gt for many years now and they are great! Its now a drift only car.. track only and i slam on the brakes , gaz brake what ever you want and they still look brand new and work like new! They dont fade under heat … i need to put new brakes on my silverado 2017 and thats what ill put on it! Because I tested them , on the street and on racing/drift application, and I have 0 complaints! I highly recommend powerstop!

@@teal_2v338 9 months later, are you still happy with them? Did you put a new set on ur truck?

[@jazrosales2008]

I have a set of rotors and pads on my '99 Tahoe, wow way better stopping power. Love them.

[@pianodemon109]

How long have you had these?

[@rampage_ae]

also curious as to how long? how many KM/miles have you put on them? do they seem to be holding up pretty well?

[@jazrosales2008]

Not entirely sure, but definitely more than 6 months.

[@ThurgoodJenkinz]

Well, you have some feedback after a year of use?

[@randomrazr]

how are they after 2 years?

[@DgkSilentMode]

After the new brake pads go out can I buy and use any brake pads or do I have to keep on buying power stop pads?

[@marknorth1686]

I bought these and just had them installed a week ago on my audi Q5. Brakes are literally screaming every time I brake

[@peteygnyc]

Shims...

[@joshuapo4554]

I have these brakes pads & rotors all 4 only had them for a couple months now my front brakes are grinding when I’m braking now the whole rotor is scatched on both driver & passenger also smells super bad my brakes are over heating if I were just simply daily driving So what Manufacturing error ? How can I get in contact with powerstop to replace my front set ? 😢💯

Sounds like a seized caliper. If you internet search you'll see that this is a common issue with their calipers.

[@MrSupernova111]

This brand is trash. See my review below. I wish I never bough this garbage brand.

[@teal_2v338]

@@MrSupernova111 i think that your caliper are trash and need to be rebuilt! Got power stop on my drift mustang for years and they still look like need!

[@a1malky_711]

Why don't you accept shipping to Saudi Arabia ?

[@rcwildman9255]

if i get this upgrade, do i have to buy the calipers?

[@sloebone7399]

Infomercial.

[@zaachfennell]

Do these breaks work with the bmw 128i im unsure if the car really matters but just want to make sure

[@fatboysgarage7984]

Do they make a set for a C3? I ordered a set through Jeggs, but they sent me a kit for a Honda Civic. Kinda bummed about it because it looks like a nice kit.

[@vastolordez8457]

Non brembo Genesis coupe? Does it fit them

[@sonnychiba8838]

Are the calipers oem replacement fit if i have the powerstop drilled/slotted rotors already?

[@petes3571]

How long do z23/z26 series last in general? Anyone ?

[@randomrazr]

would a z23 or a 36 be better for suv?

[@josephmgomez3921]

z36

[@carlitosrivera19]

Can I only buy the rotors and the break pads kit or I have to buy the full kit?

[@jtaitano9056]

You didn’t watch the whole video

[@R0cketRed]

I have a 2017 mustang gt with the performance package that comes with the brembo front brakes. Do you sell a power stop front rotor and pads to fit with the brembo calipers to match the rear power stop full kit (pads,calipers,rotors)?

[@R0cketRed]

@@carid Thank you for the super fast response. I found these rotors from power stop, do you think they'll work for the front brembo? Then all I would need is pads once mine wear down. That way both front and back rotors will be the same and look great. I saw the EBC ones you were talking about but unfortunately I'm not rich lol and $731 for a front set of pads and rotors is way too much, even though they are seriously nice. www.carid.com/2017-ford-mustang-brakes/powerstop-drilled-slotted-rotors-729377187.html?parentsubmodel[]=SUBMODEL|GT

[@JThom-yh3ef]

I have this in my 2011 Hyundai genesis coupe. Looks bad@ss. And I did it all by myself.

[@marknorth1686]

I purchased the rotor and pad set z23 for my q5 and they are the worse brakes ever. They have been screaming every time I press the brake. Only been 2weeks. Not a bood buy

[@georged.7729]

Good stopping power, fancy look but that's about it. Squealing like a train, drag. Not even two months in. It's embarrassing. And no, it's not my calipers. Overpriced. Do yourself a favor and go with reputable brands, the likes of Brembo rotors and Akebono pads etc. For a little extra money. I can only imagine what's expecting me in a few months. Garbage brakes

useless commercial, not a review.
