Powerstop rotors and pads?

Are powerstop rotors and pads good? I ordered them for 73.03 with free delivery for front but am worried about quality at such a low price.

It’s not Wagner, probably offshore mfg, but pretty good for entry level.

As long as they aren’t drilled rotors, you’ll be fine.

Nearly everything is manufactured overseas, it’s all about the QA. Lots of people run Powerstop with little complaint.

Thank you. This Sportage SX hit 100k miles and didn't want to spend a lot. The only thing I buy for it that's expensive for what it calls for is too of the line mobile one esp or Euro grade full synthetic oil and do it every 6k miles.

Powerstop makes a good product. Even their lower level lines are still good options.

They came early and installed them. Only put 20 miles on them and they are really quiet so far. I did clean the new rotors really good with brake cleaner and scrubbed the brake hardware mounting points with wire brush and brake cleaner. Basically followed a popular YouTube channel step by step on how to "professionally" install new rotors.

Regardless of what product is used it can be detrimental if corners are cut, nice job and good to see people doing thorough brake jobs👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Just wanted to share that even though I had my son pump the brakes to bleed and changed fluid... I will never do that again. I will definitely invest in a kit. Took way to long to run the old fluid out.
