Power Stop K4721 Front Z23 Carbon Fiber Brake Pads with Drilled & Slotted Brake Rotors Kit For Cadillac CTS 2008-2014 [Model Specific]

*****Update*****These brakes never failed to perform very well, but about a year after installation they started to get really loud. There was no shimmy or stutter, and the rotors weren't warped, but they howled like a banshee whenever I would slow down from highway speeds, like when exiting the freeway.I used these for about 3 years and 45,000 miles. There was about 15% of the pad material left, and the rotors were in surprisingly little visible wear. As I'm probably going to trade this car in soon, I went back to solid factory rotors and ceramic pads. They don't stop *quite* as well, but they're far quieter.I've used Power Stop brakes and rotors in several of my cars and my friends' cars, and I've never been disappointed. I would still absolutely consider putting these brakes on another vehicle! ( BTW, I'm not paid to say that. I'm just a fan.)*****Original review*****Don't believe Amazon if the site still says these won't fit a 2011 Cadillac CTS base model. They fit perfectly!I installed these on my CTS to remedy a warped rotor that the previous owner left for me. I followed the recommended bed-in procedure and they've performed perfectly ever since. The rotors are substantial and will no doubt last for tens of thousands of miles. They also look pretty cool! The pads are a perfect fit. Even the included hardware pieces are top notch. Overall this was the most easy and pleasant brake job I've ever done, partly because of the simplicity of Cadillac maintenance, but mostly because of the high quality of this brake kit.

All I can say is wow, 2009 Cadillac CTS AWD 3.6L D.I. my last set of cross drilled and slotted front rotors and pads lasted over 10 years and 100,000 miles almost. Daily driver, very low dust, these have performed, and that's why I'm buying them again over other brands.

Yhe shop I worked in only use Z23 power stop brake pads. Never had any problems.

Great upgrade. Look good and work well. I warped the stock rotors on my CTS coupe and these have been able to withstand my aggressive driving, no problem. Easy install.Also followed the break in procedure so that helped.

Works very well for me. It doesn't squeak/squeal as some other reviews have said. Just use brake grease everywhere you should. It does have a different sound when braking. It's sorta like a whirl sound. It's not bad and I don't think it projects outside of the car. I have a 08 cts. It has been about 1 month. I will update later if there are issues with the down the road.

After shipping me the wrong brakes (for a CTS-V instead of a CTS 3.6 Coupe), Amazon was good enough to pay the shipping to return the incorrect part (but it still required me doing most of a brake-job twice)... When I received the new parts, they fit well. I broke them in as instructed, but one month later, they still squeek incessantly at very low speeds, and the stopping power is worse than on the factory brakes. Based on my experience, I will never buy power stop brakes again, and I am afraid I will be replacing them AGAIN in the near future as the squeeking drives me crazy. Waste of money and time. I'm severly not happy about this purchase.

Seems to work good

I received these pretty quickly and installed them on my 2012 CTS 3.6 Premium myself with no issues. I followed the break-in to the science.The price is always right. I have ordered Power Stop brake kits for four different cars and I simply cannot complain. The stopping power is incredible. With mine, I don't get the fade, warping, runout that I was experiencing with the OEM package. I really think these are top dollar and quality for low price drilled, slotted rotors with ceramic brakes.If anything changes within a reasonable 30 days 3000 miles, I'll repost.

Fit like they should and work great
