Power Stop K662 Front/Rear Ceramic Brake Pad and Cross Drilled/Slotted Combo Rotor On
Ok so it's time to replace Rotors and Pads on the Maxi. I have $75.00 in Amazon gift cards that I need to spend, so I found this kit on Amazon.
Anyone have knowledge good or bad on this kit?

I thought about getting those, but I decided not to. They're cheaply made, and are nowhere close to performance brakes. If you could fine rotors that are just slotted it would be ok. Drilled the wau they do it, it eats up the pads and makes the rotor weaker. Any splash of cool water while they are hot, and it will warp and/or crack,and you'll have to replace them again. I would just find some nice Raybestos rotors and pads.

brembo's are dirt cheap, look around and you'll find a set for around 150.00 to 200.00. i added akibono quiet stop pads for another 55.00, never had an issue with this combo, low dust, quiet stops. link http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw...axima&_sacat=0 i'm only assuming you need front pads http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw...axima&_sacat=0

All looks, no power. There's to much rotor material removed with all the machine work. Believe it or not, your best rotor is a good blank. A blank offers the most friction surface for the pad to bite onto. As max ride mentioned, the akibono pads are excellent, coupe them with a good blank and you've got some really nice brakes.

I love how the people with some of the most stock 4th gens here are talking about braking power 
It's for looks, it's at a good price, if he doesn't drive like me (Captain Jackass) it's a good buy.
Lay off.
Those pads may be extra dusty though.... I'd try to buy the drilled/slotted rotors for cheap alone and buy some Autozone/Oriely's/Whatever lifetime warranty pads though.
I'm taking a leap of faith in saying this... But anyone looking for performance should know better than to stick w/ stock 4th gen rotors/calipers..... I'm just going to assume the OP is after the looks.

i've read many a thread about op's expirience's with drilled/slotted rotors and have never heard a happy one. they suck the life out of your pads and they don't last. true story from someone who has used them.

If you just looking for good stopping power then get some blanks and a good set of pads. I got the duralast golds and they bite good. Wagner is good too.
Drilled and slotted are for looks man.
And www.rockauto.com all day for those parts

But I honestly really don't care anymore. My point has been made.
Have a nice day. Enjoy this thread.
