Install went perfect. I had them installed as my "free" time is all used up for the foreseeable future wife and I opened a business so all my free time is spent there. But they are great, stopping very much improved, and look really good ..

They do squeak only when cold, but my Stillen set up did the same thing

Nice setup, and an even better price! What bedding did they recommend for those pads?

Sorry Brad been busy with the new business so I haven’t been on here much. :/
I’m not sure I had a local shop do the install, he drove it to bed them. :/

So after a few weeks and some good miles on these the brakes are still perfect not warping and the braking power is great!

Update time:

So I have had these on since the second week in April and the end of last week a notice that sitting in traffic the car would lurch forward? I honestly thought I was letting mt foot move slightly on the brake pedal. I was wrong, two days later my traction light and break light came on, I stopped and got some brake fluid,as I just thought it was low. Two days later the light came on again :/. I got home noticed two wet spots in the drive way . I go under car (left rear) and saw fluid leaking out of the caliper! I guess it was leaking for sometime as that wheels barrel is discolored now , and I have run marks in between all the spokes. So I also have to have that wheel refinished AGAIN!

Even more upsetting is RockAuto doesn't have them (out of Stock till at least August) and offered me no solution but to install a regular caliper :/. WOW

So I called PowerStop and they are working with me. They are going to either send me a silver caliper for now then ship me out a red one when they have one (would look funny but at least I can drive the car). 2: Send me a seal kit and the shop replaces the seals. 3: Power coat a silver one red( Option ) I'm hoping for. So we'll see.

I had the brakes installed at T&L auto in Southborough/Framingham line right on Rt 9. Great place and the tech Shawn is a Nissan guy, Good people there1

Damn, that's too bad, is the damage to the wheel finish real obvious or is it hidden behind the spokes? Sorry to hear that, that is one of the caveats w/ remans unfortunately

That really sucks. I added these to my list as a possibility but this is gonna put an asterisk beside it. What kind of remedy is Power Stop offering in terms of install cost coverage and wheel damage; if any?

^^ yes it does.,..

Power stop has OVN me a seal kit! Awesome service from them. The damaged wheel they will not do anything with:/ I asked but kinda new they wouldn't. The wheel is pretty bad on the inside and I have run marks everywhere. Took a quick pic the other day. I have a place to refurnish the wheel again
