   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.

   I was debating on whether or not to get this kit or just go back with OE replacements for my 17 F-150. After reading countless positive reviews on the Powerstop z36 it I desided to take the plunge and I am glad I did.The install was easy and no different than any other brake job for my truck at least since I don’t have the electric park brake. The brake in procedure was easy as well for me to complete although I live in a rural area where it was easy to complete exactly as writen. I can imagine it will be very difficult to follow to a T if you live in a high traffic area. The performance from these brakes is outstanding in my opinion. There is a noticeable increase in braking power and feel. They are as of now quiet as well but I haven’t had them long enough to really say for sure they will stay quiet.All in all I am extremely satisfied and will be recommending Powerstop brake kits to my friends and family.

   I pull a 22 foot boat and a 28 foot camper with a 2016 FORD F-150 FX4 with a 5.0 engine, these brakes stop both smooth and straight so much better than OEM. They were easy to install all parts fit perfectI have never had brakes that feel so smooth. Been on almost a month pulled the boat 5 different times now will write another report after they have been on longer

   Put another complete set on my 2012 f150 3.5 crew. I haul 24′ enclosed trailers and 33′ RV throughout Florida. I got 150,000 miles off of first rotors and pads. These brakes have great stopping power. If you’ve driven a nascar type vehicle that’s how good they stop. even make that little squeal when applied lightly in reverse. I got into my kids 2022 Chevrolet pickup and almost hit the car in front of me! You won’t be disappointed.

   Bought for my 14 f150 plat. It had stock rotors and some other aftermarket pad but were worn and starting to warp and crack. Read mixed reviews but so far my experience has been great all the hardware was easily sorted and correct rotors seem of great quality and pads seem to Bute great so far. Only had them for about 100miles but so far miles ahead of stock for actual braking. We’ll see how long they last for towing and just general Miles.
