I don't pull anything with my Ridge, but I have never had a warped rotor with it. I have never turned a rotor with the EBC slotted and dimpled but I know the brakes are better than the OEMs the Ridge started life with.

I've been driving with these EBC's on my Ridge for only about 150,000 miles. I can give you a better idea on how I like them when I reach 300,000 miles.

Personally went with the power stop severe duty truck kit.

I looked into the pilot upgrade and was set on it at one time but decided against it. While I don't tow regularly these brakes work great and IMO are an improvement over stock. They definitely have more bite, I've probably got about 8k on the setup so far and no problems.

actually not a bad price for heavy-duty 'everything.

Here's a review for Power Stop...

Maybe they are better now.. personally I would stay with OEM or brand name equivalents.. Akebono, Wagner, Raybestos, etc.

Question: One of the reasons I'm wanting to upgrade to a larger brake is that I'm always driving around with a warped rotor. And when I had the rotors turned and new pads installed, it didn't take but one trip pulling the trailer to warp the rotors once again. I'm sick and tired of that "jerky" stop caused by that. Will these larger, dimpled and slotted rotors stay much cooler so I don't have to fight that?

Chris C, which rotors have warped on you, front and/or rear rotors?

I'm curries because I want to increase my stopping performance while towing and thought that since the OEM front rotors are already vented, I would just put EBC Yellowstuff pads on the front and that would do the trick. Since Yellowstuff pads are so sticky, it could warp the front rotors under heavy/continual braking; but I thought not because they are already vented. If you have had warping issues with your front rotors, then I need to rethink my plan.

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.

I would not want that guy touching my brakes. But on the clips that apparently is an issue. I've read more than one complaint on other forums.
Although, even Honda has issues like with the sliding pins.
