Powerstop are G2G, I use them on cars/trucks quite a bit. R1 concepts are great too, they are always out of stock for our cars on their site, but ebay has them.

I run Power Stop kits on everything from Daily Drivers to Work trucks, I have 6 Vehicles in my household and they are all running Power Stops except for my 5th Gen just because theres nothing wrong with my stockers at the moment.


The Power stop kits are priced right and really hold up, I had 2 daily drivers that would either warp or rust away in short order, not the case with these, On my Dodge ram pick up, I put them on in 2014 and they still look and work like new.

Powerstop fan here too. The ONLY issue is they squeak for a bit after washing the car. Stop on the proverbial dime with no dust.

Did anyone have any issues with squealing?
I know when I tried using hawks pads on the stock rotors it made an insanely loud squeal even after the break in.

Saying "Hawk pads" is like saying you ate food.
What Hawk pads? If you went too aggressive, yes, you will get squeal.

Ok, we need people to do a test, a 0-50 and then max brake comparison OEM vs Powerstop...who wins?

I would like to hear feed back from people who have tracked the kit for the 5th Gen.

Take the shims off the pad, slap on some brake grease and put the shims back on. Worked for me.
