    Read this thread and ordered my sets from jegs.com

    Jegs.com price matched Amazon for $156 ,no shipping and no tax

    My mechanic friend did the install, I followed the breaknkn instructions and very happy so far

    No more annoying vibration when I brake from the stock rotors that keeps warping

    Everyone that previously posted...y’all still happy with these PowerStop rotors and pads?

    I just installed a set and did the bedding procedure...went as expected. Did notice no more braking shimmy/shake so that’s a good immediate improvement.

    Yes still very pleased with them!
    No brake dust,
    No cracking but it doesn’t get driven like a race car either.
    40k on them give or take!
    Blew a piston on a front caliper and the pads cleaned up nicely with brake clean.

    I'm happy with them. As far as comparing to stick I can't really. My stockers squealer never made any notice so I went through the pad material 100% then they dug into the rotors. It was so far from when they were new to the powerstop kit i couldn't say 1 was better then the other, but I'm quite happy with them.

    Don’t know but hope so. My OEM rotors still has some life left. I had my pads changed by the Dealer at 55K but these still had life left also. I’m at 110,000...but I downshift my auto transmission when I slow down so I probably don’t use my brakes as much as I should.

    But I will say, the PowerStop Rotors visually look well made and designed. All drill holes were properly placed between air veins. Holes and slots are beveled. The 20 miles of bedding driving I did, they seemed to stop better the hotter I got them and when I ran an errand the next day, they stopped my truck quickly.

    So, so far, so good.

    First self brake replacement job along with brake fluid flush and replacement, so I’m happy and pleased my truck stops when I press the brake pedal.

    K137-36 for over a year and a half with zero issues. I have no warping or fade, and still have plenty of life left on the pads so I'm very happy with them.

    Thank you. I didn’t know if the code
    $185 k137-36 front Z36 truck & tow brake kit, carbon fiber ceramic brake pads and drilled and slotted brake rotors for toyota 4runner FJ cruiser tacoma 6 lug
    k137-36 was specific to our truck or not. I’m just hesitant because I’ve bought parts that haven’t fit before

    I just went and looked. I have the standered version, not the extreme. I have been happy with them. Almost 1 yr.
    I tow a 5x8 enclosed filled with lawn mowers a few times a week with no issues(trailer has no brakes).

    This is the first teucknthatbi have done much of the maintenance on, so i was a bit nervous to do the brakes. Was pretty shocked at how easy it was.

    Only issue I had was the passenger side the caliper piston got pushed out. I could not get it back in properly so I ended up going to auto zone and getting a new caliper.
