I have and they're the real deal. Very nice. No issues. Other than being able to stop on a dime. LOL! Pads are rated GG. About as good as it gets.

I did the "loaded" Police calipers with police pads from Rockauto, slotted only R1 carbon geomet rotors from R1concepts.....had them cryo treated. Very happy with the results.

i run r1 e line drilled and slotted on everything now. i put them on the hoe right after i bought it, its brakes were trashed, so they made a huge improvement right away.

Powerstop rotors, stainless steel lines and power stop pads. Braking is awesome

Happy how? Tell more if you would. Is the braking power or feel greatly improved? I really like the idea of greater diameter for additional braking force and extra material.
For those who have done the stainless lines, how much difference did you see/feel?

Night and day. There is no pedal fade. My pedal is as firm as if you were to pump your brake pedal with the truck off.

Same diameter just higher quality rotor for no warp. Pads have great friction coefficient and no fade (I drive it like my vette minus 120hp) and it stops on a dime. Police calipers have silicone instead of rubber seals for double the heat capacity before things melt and fail.

Have been running the Powerstop rotors and calipers on my vehicles for years. Never a problem. Always good performance.

I had the Powerstop kit (z23? calipers rotors pads) and added braided lines on my 08 Avy. That fat beast could stop almost as well as my Trans Am. Unless you are going to spend 4k on a full Wilwood setup, the powerstops are excellent.

I just installed the complete kit on my 07 Denali about a month ago. Happy with them so far. Unlike EBC drilled and slotted rotors they don't cause extra noise and vibrations when braking.
