2013 Sonata 2.4L. 67k mile currently. Its been about a year, and over 15K miles. I really don't have much to say about them. They work just as well now and they did on day 3, no vibrations, no rust, still look amazing behind the factory rims, and only used about 25% of the pads so far. At this rate the sonata will get about 60K total miles or over 4 years out of this setup. Price was about $478 total tax and shipping to door that included the 4 rotors all pads plus hardware from RA.. So for 60K miles of use and 4 years hopefully, my cost will be down to less then 9$ a month for the most premium brake offered for a sonata . I did also have the fluid flushed when I installed everything. Brake pedal is very responsive, and initial bite is immediate with well-controlled modulation.... ABS activation happens very quickly if you're not careful though. They might actually be "too" much brake for a Sonata. So it takes a little getting used to.
Also installed the same setup on the Forte a couple months ago. Again nothing but good things to say. They look the part, everything fit perfectly, bite is fantastic, and the kia is driven a little "differently" then the sonata, they have not wrapped or have any vibrations either... I did test them out down a steep grade at highway speeds for miles, and they never gave the slightest hint of fading or warping.
If I had different results, I would also let you guys know. I think the powerstop is the best bang for your buck brakes and do recommend them to almost everyone. How they would hold up at a track day event?, not sure, but they are decently well made rotors with carbon ceramic brake pads.
I know the drilled and slotted on a every day car driven on public roads you may never see the true benefits but it looks great , and there is more brake then I will ever need.
Just my thoughts this morning on Powerstop. Most members never update threads once they install parts, so we truly don't know how they held up to time and mileage. I like to update things, much later in time so we get a bigger picture then just day one results.
