There are a lot of threads about Powerstop brake pads to eliminate brake dust, which I have. But I can’t recall ever seeing any mention of anyone using the Powerstop rotors? I do have a friend who put Powerstop pads & rotors on his girlfriend’s Acura and he was very happy with them.

I have power stop rotors and pads on my BMW 335i since 2010 with over 100k miles on them and they still look brand new. Have never had a single issue with them. I bought the slotted and drilled rotors and pads off eBay.

Used them many times... Here is my install/thoights on a Camaro SS 1LE --> http://www.camaro6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=490810
I like them a LOT, and they are going on this C7 too (have used Carbontech before with similar results)

Too bad they dust so dam bad the brake pad dust covers the wheels, calipers and control arms and even shows up under the doors and all over the car. EVERYWHERE! All this in about 10 stops. I hate the super cheap stock pads.
Powerstop pads and the dust issue is over the car and wheels stay clean. Brakes stop plenty good .

I used them pads and rotors on a Ford Expedition. The stock brakes did a lousy job stopping when I was towing. These Powerstop's were terrific. I was a little concerned that the rotors were made in China. But really no issues, they did a great job.

Amazon and RockAuto seem to be the best/cheapest places to buy PowerStop pads & rotors. The prices fluctuate frequently so shop both for the best deal (RockAuto has plenty of 5% off promo codes available if you Google for one). I'm very happy with the PowerStop Z26 pads on my Z51! Zero noise, minimal dust, great all-around performance pad for the street.

I have used them on my C6... They worked.
I do prefer just drilled rotors, though.
I think the slots do a great job of creating more dust.
I am putting solid rotors back on my C7. They are sitting by the front door, right now.

One member on here who had a set of those "defective" batch pads got a new set sent to him from Powerstop to it was nice to see they stand behind their product.
