Interesting! The durability is what I’m looking for. How do they compare in terms of lifespan? Are they good for high miles?

I’ve put about 30,000 miles on mine and they still look great! I think PowerStop brakes really shine with longevity if maintained properly.
Wow, 30,000 miles is impressive! Do you do any extra maintenance besides the usual checks?

I don’t do anything too fancy, just regular inspections. However, I do lubricate the caliper pins a bit more frequently. Keeps everything smooth!

I’ve had some squeaking issues but they went away after a little bit of break-in. Just a heads-up for anyone who may experience that!
Thanks for the tip! Did you notice any wear patterns on your brakes that might indicate how much longer they will last?
No noticeable wear! I’ve kept an eye on them every few months, and they’ve shown minimal deterioration even with performance driving.
PowerStop brakes sound promising! What about in terms of price? Are they really worth the investment?
Yeah, they are a bit pricier than some standard options, but I think the performance and durability justify it. Just my two cents!
Definitely! The quality seems to match the price. A friend of mine had a bad experience with a budget brand; I would never skimp on brakes again!
Just remember! You get what you pay for, especially when it comes to brakes. But hey, if they start sounding like a dying cat, it might be time to switch!

Haha, good point! Seriously though, I’m thinking about making the switch soon. Any final thoughts on long-term performance?
I just installed PowerStop brakes on my Ford F-150, and the process was surprisingly easy! I only needed basic tools: a socket wrench and jack stands.

That’s great to hear! Did you encounter any compatibility issues with your truck?
I fitted them on a Honda Civic, and while the installation was similar, I had to make sure I got the right model number for my year. No problems otherwise!
I heard some people say they had issues with Civic compatibility. Glad you didn’t have that!
The process is largely simple but I recommend having a friend to help, especially for lifting the car safely. Better to be safe than sorry!
Such a good tip! Safety is key during installations.
I was pleasantly surprised by the brake dust reduction with PowerStop compared to my OEM brakes. Installation process was straightforward with no surprises!
Did you install the rotors as well or just the pads, @emily23? I read that the rotors make a big difference with performance.
