Improved breaking and some tips
Replaced my 2015 F150 OEM brakes with this kit. Everything fit well, went together easy, and looks good. Bedded the pads in and the truck is topping better than ever before. Super smooth and well behaved braking. Clearly an upgrade to the Ford OEM capability. So good job Power Stop!! Also, notable mention for Amazon and UPS. The box weighed 110 lbs, took a lot to get it to me in good shape, thank you. Some items you might find useful: 1) My OEM brakes lasted 90,000 and I still had plenty of shoe left. Probably because I do not do a lot of towing or stop and go driving. 2) The front brake pads needing replacing because they were cracked, the back were just fine. I replaced them all to keep everything uniform. Also, I am about to tow a car on a trailer about 1000 miles so I want my brakes in top shape. 3) All four rotors were stuck. I found that heating the rotor with a MAP gas torch while I tapped on the back of the rotor was very effective on all four. You do not need to heat the entire rotor, just the portion that the lug bolts go through. Stay away from the center hub, you want that staying cool. And a "tap" is swing hard enough that you will want hearing protection but you can do with your left hand while you hold the torch with your right hand (right handed people). The back of the rotor where the brake shoe travels will get small divits in it so only do this if you do not plan on re-using them. 4) Don't forget to wire brush the rust off where the new rotors will contact with the hub. 5) Don't over lubricate the brake pad guides. Those are the stainless clip-in's that the kit provides replacements for. Just a small amount of lube will do. I put a thin cote on the brake pad ends that contacts the guides and on the guides where they contact brake pad ends. 6) Don't forget to re-lube the travelers and replace the bushings. 7) Torque specs were not easy to find. However, some of the same numbers came up on the more authoratative references. Here is what I used; front the torque: 184 ft-lbs and 27 ft-lbs for the large and small bolts (2 of each) and on the back the torque: 111 ft-lbs and 27 ft-lbs. This was also consistent with the torque range for the bolts. Although consistency is not enough to go on. Many factors were taken into account by the designer so I tend to use factory spec as long as it is consistent with the range for the bolt. 8) I used red loctite on the large bolts. Looked like they had used that at the factory. No loctite on the bolts that thread into the travelers. When the torque value is determined the use of a thread locking compound is considered since it changes the running torque. This in itself is a good reason to use loctite if it was use at the factory. Although none of the videos I watched used loctite. So it might have been an overkill. I am the engineer with a super well equipped garage that has been overhauling my own engines for over 40 years and I have found that what appears to be overkill to a mechanic is frequently what is required to do the job right and produce a reliable result. 9) One final thing, make sure to open the brake fluid reservoir and remove some fluid before you compress the pistons and using one of the old pads and a C-clamp to compress the pistons works well. Compared to getting the job done at a shop; you will save a few hundred bucks, you will get a better job, you will have better pads and rotors, it will look better, your truck will stop better, you will avoid the frustration and drama associated with dealing with a shop and it will take about the same amount of time. So if you have a few tools and do not mind getting your hands dirty this is a great Saturday afternoon DIY project.

Nice upgrade
After installing the (front and rear) Power Stop Brake Kit on my 2012 F-150, I can honestly say I am very pleased with the results. I immediately noticed the difference in performance. The upgrade from stock to the Power Brake Kit, very impressive. A no nonsense kit, a perfect OEM match and they look cool against my newly painted calipers. (But thatโs a different review) A little pricey but very well worth it.

Yes, this is the kit you want.
An outstanding brake upgrade for my 2017 F150, I recommend this kit without reservation. I had a notable improvement in stopping power, zero vibration, easy run-in procedure that is clearly documented in the kit, they look great mounted up to the vehicle, I have yet to see any rust whatsoever, packaging and shipping were excellent (it's a heavy kit, so this is critical) and, though expensive, the price is quite fair for the quality of the components. I have driven these brakes in all weather across many different parts of the country now, and I like them better than any I have had mounted to any vehicle I've owned, present or past (I've done my own brakes for 20 years). I strongly suggest skipping the sub-par overpriced auto parts store offerings and mount these up. Seriously. You will not regret it.

A very nice package ... very nice
Got the kit for my F150. This powerstop kit is very very very nicely done. It arrived in a single box. Everything extremely well marked. For example, each disc had a sticker to tell you where it should be installed. The inner and outer pads are interchangeable, so you can't put them in wrong. The hardware kit is complete and well made. And there is grease with directions on where to apply it. 5 stars for the kit packaging ! The install took me all day but I am not a young guy. I have done brakes before but its been awhile. Also, I did this in my driveway with mostly hand tools. I think the hardest part was getting a torque wrench in the wheel well to tighten the caliper bracket holding bolts (111 ft lbs in rear and a whopping 184 ft lbs in the front). This was hard. Not a fault of the powerstop kit and so I give the install ... 5 stars. When finished installing, I had air in the brake lines because I opened the bleeder when pushing the caliper piston back. Mostly the fronts because the dual pistons meant I had to go back and forth when seating them and I think this sucked air. So, make sure you have brake fluid handy when you do the job. I had a fairly good pedal. Waited for traffic to lessen and did the break in procedure. Important point of the procedure is you cannot stop during the ENTIRE procedure. This means no coming to a complete stop and no touching the brakes outside of the 5 + 5. So, even after doing the 5+5 and cooling down the brakes ... no touching the pedal. Result ... very quiet, extremely good pedal and braking. I like the kit very much. Time will tell how it holds up.

Great product
I purchased this kit for my 2013 f150. It was easily installed in a little under 2 hours. Mostly because I have the tools and know-how from years of experience. No instructions are needed as you can refer to the oem service materials if needed. The product does exactly as intended and I have notice a huge improvement in my brakes. Especially with towing. The great looks from slotted and drilled rotors is a plus too. My only disappointment was the packaging. I received an obviously returned package from a previous purchase. The packaging was tore up and everything was loose in a box. Luckily nothing was damaged so I didn't feel the need to return and moved forward with install. All in all, decent pricing for a product I already planned to purchase and great results. Minus 1 star strictly for the poor packaging

Certainly better than OEM parts. 2013 F150 XLT 5.0L
I bought these because my wife bought a boat and I wanted better stopping power. One of the factory rotors was warped and I had yet to tow anything with the truck. I didnโt trust the OEMโs any longer so I chose these after a friend, with a much larger boat, gave them a great review. I replaced all four rotors and pads. The parts came in a single (heavy) box and the packaging was not damaged. The install was very simple and I had no issues with the parts. My issues were getting the wheels off of the rotors. They were frozen to the rotors and after visiting forums I end3 up taking a 5lb. Sledge to the inside of the rim at the bead. It took several blows but eventually broke free. I only mention these things because it may be helpful for others. It would definitely benefit the install process to have the tires rotated shortly before the install. Fords are notorious for the wheels freezing to the rotors and I was not as diligent with the rotation schedule as is recommended. The rotors and pads were the easy part of the job and everything fit nicely. I followed the break-in procedure exactly as directed in a nearby parking lot and you will know when they are properly heated because you will smell the coating burn off. I Did drive an extra 5 minutes before braking, just to make certain that they were cooled enough. I have since towed the boat several hundred miles and feel comfortable with the stopping power. I had towed the boat with the OEM rotors/pads but one was warped so it may not be fair to say that these are much better. They definitely perform much better that the OEM with a warped rotor! They are drilled and looted rotors so they would almost certainly perform better than the factory parts do. I know they are pricey but I donโ t regret the purchase and feel confident that I can stop with the boat in tow.

Review after 5 months
Brake kit contained everything needed for replacing brake rotors and pads for a 2017 F150. No fitment issues at all. There was an immediately noticeable increase in performance due to new pads and better rotors over factory. After 5 months of service, the rotors remain true with no vibration. Pad dusting is present, but minimal. Have never noticed brake fade, but this ain't a track car. Can't report a 1:1 comparison, but the squishy feeling of (even when new) Ford factory brakes is gone and braking confidence is greatly increased. Highly recommended and it will only take you an afternoon to do the job on all 4 wheels.

Nice brake upgrade.
I ordered this kit for my 2016 F-150. It was shipped right away. When it arrived the outside packaging was destroyed but when I looked through the contents I was confident everything was there. The install was very straight forward. I followed the break in procedure and they seem great. Great stopping power, quiet, smooth and they look great. These are definitely an upgrade from the originals. I will continue this review in a few years from now and see how well or bad they preform. Itโs now getting close to 4 years with this kit and still going strong. Still no warping and stopping power is good. They still donโt look too bad either. I feel I got my moneys worth. I will buy again when itโs time.

Great upgrade for my 2016 F150
It was time to install new rotors and pads on my 2016 F150. I live in the mountains, have 33 inch winter and all terrain tires and in the summer I have a truck camper that I am hauling down windy dirt roads. This upgrade of my brakes made sense for a range of conditions that I drive. The install was simple (other than the difficult part of getting rust welded rotors off which required a heavy sledge hammer to get moving) and everything fit into the original callipers with only a few basic tools needed. I am very happy with the product and and found plenty of information and videos online to help me do this job at home. Parts shipped quickly and I found hundreds of dollars cheaper via Amazon compared to other online vendors.

Great product
This was exactly as described. Fit and finish was awesome. Install was a breeze other than removing the old rotors. Packaging was the only thing I can complain about. The rotors were in their own boxes and the brake pads and clips separate and loose in a large box. All parts in the box were loose and flopping around and the vac was barely held together when delivered. I know these items are heavy but the interior packaging needs better attention. Needs either foam or more material to hold stuff from moving about inside the box.
