Highlights
Quality
Installed on a 2009 acura tsx over 4 years ago and i was immediately impressed with the quality of the products.
Everything fit well and installation was smooth, used them to replace "factory defective" brakes supplied on my 2009 accord by honda.
Almost all of the pads do not fit, i have to spend a lot of times to file and fit each individual manually.
The 2008, 2009, and 2010 honda accords have a common defect causing the brake rotors to warp in as little as 10,000 miles.
Price
I did the work myself and saved at least $500 on this job.
Great deal for the price and they look so much better than the factory ones 😎
I bought this item from amazon and paid another $180 for installation.
I paid $450 total and saved 250+ tax.
Shipping
I contacted powerstops customer service and was pleasantly surprised by the awesome support!
Tina at powerstop ran though the part numbers and confirmed that something was incorrect with my shipment.
Ordered this kit and got it in 5 days.
Packaging/appearance
The packaging was great, and looks to be very high quality parts.
Upon opening the master box it looked like everything was there.
The part number on the box was the correct for the rears, just didn't have the correct rotors in it.
Well, it just so happened that when i opened the rear rotor box i noticed it had a set of vented front rotors.
Competitiveness
I even bought a new set of shims from the local auto parts store and had the same problem.
But when i was searching for them i saw the price and was prepared to settle for another brand of rotor.
The manufacturer should make better fitting parts but overall i'm very happy especially for the price.
