Powerstop Brakes
Have any of you heard good things about Powerstop brakes?
I was thinking of getting a pair. Stocker Brembos are ok on my other car, and Powerstops cost $40 more. That obviously doesn't mean they are better. I don't want to ruin a good thing, but then again, I don't want to stop 300 horsies on stockers either.

They're OK. I had/have them on the Alero
Just replaced the front with Summit brand x-drilled and slotted, car stops a hell of a lot faster and better pedal feel. I'll be putting these on the Delta when new brake time comes  The only drawback is that the inside hub gets all that surface rust on it

I have never heard of those before, are they just a brand name of brake shoes and pads? If so then I would just get the stock ones. Brake shoes are brake shoes, and pads are pads. They all eventually wear out.

Supposedly 40% less likely to warp than stock. Sorry bout that.

Hmmm... well if the price is right then I would go ahead and get them.
