PowerStop Euro-Stop Brakes

Coming time to change the brakes on all four corners. Based in the rust belt of the US - I was looking into PowerStop's Euro kit. I've had good luck with them before on other vehicles. Just curious if anyone has input on these kits.



I've read quite a few people tend to head to Geoff. However, his kits for the '17 are quite a bit more expensive it seems. Perhaps it's worth the extra cost though, I'm not sure.

I have that kit with coated discs on the front of my 2010. It has done great so far and has not rusted here in Michigan. Feel and stopping power is very good.

Last I checked those rotors are far inferior to OEM high carbon brakes. I wouldn't do it.

I bought the Z23 kit - Power Stop kit - with the low-dust carbon fiber ceramic pads.
The carbon fiber pads are likely a great option and something I'd experiment with. The rotors on the other hand, I would not.

Next time I need brakes, I'll hit you up for the scratch to get some gin-U-wine VW brakes.
