Chris, member "feelmuhpino" just did the Pilot upgrade, I think he stuck with stock Pilot Pads and ordered all OEM parts. I believe he has all the part numbers, if your interested I think he's the most active member who has completed it.

I was considering this upgrade but I'm going to wait til a caliper needs replacing. If I had gotten my dad's travel trailer earlier this year, I would have gone this route. For now I've placed this on the "back burner". I do have a spreadsheet with a bunch of notes, it's incomplete but, I'm attaching it with my research, I'm not confident it's complete and there are some conflicts within it?

Here are a bunch of helpful links for Brakes

Pilot bigger brakes on the RL

Pilot brake swap, Bigger Calipers,Rotors, Pads

New EBC rotors, Pads and Calipers and brake lines etc fitted

Brake Fluid Change See Post 34

Rear Rotor's FWIW

Theoretically, dimpled & slotted rotors, will dissipate heat better, downside is you will go thru pads faster? I would think if you went with the Pilot rotor, it's also 10-15% larger, so it should act as a larger heat sink, so that would be an improvement too.

That was entertaining to say the least but I would not qualify him to ever give a review or sway me from buying anything brake related. He clearly has a misunderstanding of how brakes work, how to install brakes, how finishes on brakes work and has unrealistic expectations of finishes on brakes. I really can't even watch the entire video without laughing, the caliper coming off at 70mph and tying it up with sting and using the e-brake to get home is just epic. Yup it was powerstops fault you did't tighten caliper to the caliper bracket when you installed it yup totally their fault.


I've had 3 sets of powerstop rotor/pad kits on 3 different vehicles and not had any problems like that guy. Now if you consider cast iron rusting, pad surface area not being a perfect finish which FYI the finish wears off where the pad is, or retaining clips not in the caliper because they are likely in the box with the pads where they always are, or you simply don't know how to properly toque bolts problems then I guess I've had just as many problems as him. LOL

Yea, I think I made it 30 seconds before I stopped wasting my time. Maybe when I need a laugh I'll go finish watching.
