I did both! It felt like a complete upgrade, and I totally agree about performance improvements post-installation.
PowerStop definitely works wonders, but honestly, the installation could be a tad tricky for novices. Make sure to check everything twice!
True! Practice makes perfect; I messed up the first time I tried to install brakes!
I found a video online that helped clarify the instructions. The tools needed weren’t complex, but having a brake caliper tool was a lifesaver!

A brake caliper tool? I’ve never heard of that. How does it work, @gbush? I might need one for my next installation.
It helps compress the caliper piston when you’re installing new pads. Totally worth it if you’re doing this yourself!
Ultimately, from my experience, PowerStop brakes are worth considering, although installation may require patience and a bit of know-how. Definitely beneficial for performance!
Couldn’t agree more! It’s fun to see the difference once they’re installed.
