Well the wife’s F150 will probably be due for brakes sometime next year so I figure it’s prudent to start looking for sales/deals…. I have power stop z36 towing pads/rotors on two other F150s with good results and will probably go this route again unless I can find a better option.
Living in the salt belt I would like to find the most durable coated rotor available (within reason). Nothing ruins a meticulous brake job like rusting out cooling vanes 6 months later.
Looks like power stop makes their z36 zinc plated as well as an “evolution geomet” while raybestos has their element3. Can anybody weigh in if any of these are significantly better than the rest or is their another option I should consider?
I don’t want to derail the rotor discussion but any thoughts on the Z36 carbon/ceramic pads vs akebono “ultra premium” performance ceramic pads?
