Worked great
Worked great. Improves breaking power, much better appearance, no more rust. No squeaking. Was happy to remove my old rusted breaks and upgrade my braking ability. Fit and finish is perfect.

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.

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 Kit! Highly recommend!
Awesome package! Everything I needed for my 17’ F-150. Excellent upgrade from factory FOMOCO parts. Impressed with the fit & quality. Definite upgrade with stopping power. Would highly recommend. Easy to do yourself with the right tools.

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

With the money.
Bought these for my Ford F150 Platinum which I use a lot to tow. These brakes were easy to install and have a lot more stopping power than what was on it. Definitely worth the money. I did have to take it to the garage to get the ABS sensors bled.

Great brakes and great customer service
I bought the complete kit for my 2012 F-150. Very easy to install, all parts were clearly marked, and they sent instructions if you are not experienced. I have replaced many brakes in my day, but read the instructions anyway, and they were well-written and still helpful. When I had a problem, the customer service was excellent. Very responsive, and they took care of the problem very quickly and more than exceeded my expectations. Now, I have the smoothest breaking truck I have ever had. I highly recommend PowerStop.

Upgraded rotors and brake pads
I received a quote to replace my rotors and brake pads on my F-150 at the dealership and decided to do the job myslef because it was a fraction of the cost. I use my truck to pull snowmobile trailer in the Rocky Mtns on a weekly basis all winter so decided to go with the upgraded package for towing and I'm glad that I decided to do that. The rotors are drilled and slotted for cooling performance and the pads are great. I've had them on over a year and no issues so far. Pleased with this product and price is great! I was able to get over 100K miles out of the OEM rotors and brake pads and I'm hopeful this will have a similar performance.
