Weaknesses:
Holes for studs were not drilled true and company will not warrant product defect

Summary:
I purchased rotors with HIGH PERFORMANCE BRAKING in mind @ a HIGH PERFORMANCE SHOP. I had 3" studs pressed in for draglite wheels but studs did not set true and wheels wouldn't fit. Studs would hit outside of hole on rim, rim fit fine on stock rotors and all lugs went on no problems. Called manufacturer to let them know about the issue they told me that they will not warrant the rotors due to having studs changed, didn't know changing studs would change angle of holes drilled thru rotor. High performance braking don't mean high performance wheels . Definately would not recommend with this kind of warranty. NOT HAPPY AT ALL

Price Paid:  $150.00 from AUP brakes

Year / Model Reviewed:
1996 Acura Integra SE

Strengths:
Superior braking, firm pedal, less warpage, great looks w/ no or little corrosion

Weaknesses:
None I can think of

Summary:
I installed Powerstop rotors (actually made by Brembo) front and rear with Metal master Axis pads in 2001. I have seen nearly no scouring and the cadmium plating has held up surprisingly well no rust or corrosion into 2005. The coating makes a big difference. Braking power has increase ten-fold over my stock brake setup. I was impressed, it feels like you've added a big brake kit. More than enough stopping power for the Acura Integra. These rotors performance vary depending on car applications. However, they are a great upgrade for the Integra

Strengths:
No warping, good looks, stop better

Weaknesses:
None

Summary:
I had a major problem with the stock rotors warping due to the weight of my 22" wheels. I've had no problem with the PowerStop rotors and they stop better. I also love the 911 pads, no squeek, low dust, and they stop well.

1997 Maxima

Strengths:
a little better look.

Weaknesses:
not making any improvement over my stock rotor and pad

Summary:
Don't waste your money to but this so called "performance rotor". Doesn't worth any extra penny. My maxima was using stock rotor for 7 years with 67Kn and OEM pads with 35K. They worked OK, but I want some better stopping power. So I wish my new "ferformance" setup (Power Stop Cross Drilled rotor + AXXIS pads) will make a big difference. After I put them on, I am totally disappointed. I just feel nothing changed.

 1998 Buick Regal

Strengths:
Reduce Fade. Better Stopping power. Greatly extended life span.

Weaknesses:
Cannot be re-surfaced.

Summary:
My Supercharged Buick Regal had a real problem with brake fade and the rotors warped at 30K miles. The original brakes just fealt too weak for the engine. I put PowerStop crodd drilled rotors on the front and the 911 pads all around. Problem solved! The car stops great! No fading. I have pur another 36K on these brakes and they are still good for another 30K! These rotors are worth every penny.
