PowerStop Z23 Performance Brake Pad & Rotor Kit Front K1043

Very Nice! And fit perfectly on my 2003 Honda Element. Great packaging in perfect condition. I’ve been doing brakes for 35 years and found this kit to be well put together with all necessary hardware. Rotors were clearly labeled drivers an passenger side. All components are well made. Significant upgrade from OEM. I did not notice any additional noise. I found them to be extremely smooth and changed the feel of the vehicle completely when stopping. For the first day or two I had to press a little bit harder on the pedal before everything wore in. After a very short break in period they stop amazing. Zero squeaking no squealing smooth powerful and quiet. Follow the directions including the break-in and be sure to apply the supplied grease where they tell you to. Installation took about 45 min per side. I would recommend ordering an impact driver if you don’t own one so that you can easily remove the 2 screws that hold on each rotor. (It’s $10 - just get it) I would buy this again and I will be purchasing a similar kit from the same company for our Subaru Outback and F250.

They say 'happy wife happy life'. Man, my life got happier now!). My wife can't be happier with the smoothness of the brakes, these perform like a champ now! Even I, who normally drive a truck, love driving her civic now because of the way how smooth and nice the brake now perform! I really love this set so much, that I just purchased a second set just to have it for the future. The dismounting of old rotors was a bit of a hassle because of the rust of old screws, but they gave up when a torch was used. Installation itself was a bliss, perfect alignment of components. Did also apply the grease provided with the package so the next time I replace them I won't need to beg that torch and hammer to help me. Highly recommend, great deal for the reasonable price

Direct fit to 2014 Honda Civic EX Coupe, This kit included all hardware required to install onto your vehicle. Included in the box: Caliper clip set (multiple type depending on specific vehicle) Brake Grease Packet (Just enough to do both sides) Caliper Mounting hardware boot replacement pack (Not used, but was nice to see it was included) These pads / rotors were easy to install. Only snag I hit to no fault of the kit were the rotor screws were in so tight they ended up stripping and I had to drill them out. I HIGHLY suggest you buy new rotor retaining screws for this kit. I also made sure to use anti-seize on all components (high temp of course) to make the next brake job easier. Brake in (ha, puns) was fairly simple. The package included very clear and easy to follow directions to bed the pads to the rotors. The first heavy stop or two were a bit gritty / squeaky. But all stops thereafter (and several hundred miles after install) have been crisp, smooth, and QUIET. Highly suggested as a upgrade / replacement to OEM spec parts.

Purchased this set to replace worn brake pads that came with our 2004 Honda CRV EX. This fit perfectly and look awesome, most importantly work better than OEM. Im not a mechanic but brakes are no problem. Youtube also helps. In addition the package we received arrived sooner than schedueled and package was in great condition. Im weary of using products in banged up boxes but this was in shelf perfect condition and packed very well by the manufacter! It came with everything as advertised pair of drill/slotted rotors, premium brake pads for both driver and passenger sides. Also new rubber boots for caliper pins as well as thin metal brackets. I also replaced caliper pins (purchased seperate) on both calipers and applied generous amount of grease to prevent seizing. Lastly I followed the "break in" procedure listed in the instructions! Will purchase when the time comes for my other vehicles!

09/02/2023: I bought these to improve the braking on my 2002 CR-V before my son took it for college and then work out of state. I did the front and rear. After 5 years now they still look like new. I did replace the brake pads with Bosch ones as the ones sent with this set wore down, but about as I expected. The look and performance are what I hoped for. Just a word of caution. The rotors do generate a ticking noise when you are driving. Sounds a bit like playing card in a bicycle spoke. Took me a while to figure it out but it is caused by the air going over the slots as you drive. Nothing mechanical, but can be annoying for some. It’s a feature of these kinds of rotors so be ready for that.

These are the best brakes I have used on my Honda Element. Others may try to replicate but not able to duplicate. I tried purchasing another brand similar to these for less money and it was a waste of my time! I removed them after only putting on a few thousand miles and tossed them in the recycle bin. Rotors were warped and started to rust already. There is definitely a difference in quality. Don't be fooled and purchase these the 1st time around!

Ad says: "2013-2021 Civic" However I have a 2015 Civic Lx with Manual Transmission and the rotors are too large in diameter and the thickness is too large. Tehy look like the are for a larger vehicle perhaps Accord. Either way does not work on 2015 Civic.

I do a lot of highway driving which usually means braking from higher speeds to dead stops do to accidents, construction and other highway delays. My original 2003 Honda accord brakes which were replaced from the dealer but and a few hard stops on the turnpike killed them they were never the same. I believe they warped from the heat. I noticed they were good for under 45 mph stops but anything above that speed there were absolutely terrible and dangerous to make a complete stop with. I decided it was time for an upgrade and I did some researching online and decided to put these Power Stop heavy duty performance brakes on my car as a replacement for the stock junky Honda brakes. What a difference, I have already had to put them to the test a number of times on the turnpike and they stop on a dime with no hesitation. With these pads and rotors you know you can stop even from highway speeds to 0 without any issues. The brakes are nicely plated and still appear like new to look at. I would recommend these brakes to anyone that needs something better then stock. The rotors are packed separately with labels for left front and right front so you do not have to guess which is which and you will know that you got the correct parts. I have had brakes in the past where they would mistakenly give you two of the same side. Shipping was prompt and the install was easy photo installation instructions are also included which is always a plus to have on hand. Overall a great product and quality.

Great product

Break pad and rotors won’t fit, rotors won’t align with OEM brackets

Amazing upgrade for the stock Honda Civic brakes.. which are absolute garbage.. no noise unless you're really stomping on them.. and then they just make a bit of a whirling noise as they pull your car down to a nice smooth stop. I've jumped on these a few times and they are still just as smooth as they were new.. from 150km down to 0..

The rotors fits very well on my honda civic 2015 but the break pad is not Its small

Tous le matériel pour l installation es fournis. Freine très bien.plus performant que les freins d origine. Bon prix.livraison très rapide. Reste à voir sur le long terme la fiabilité.
