Power Stop Brake Kit For 2012-2018 Ford F-150 6 Lug Models - Truck & Tow Front and Rear Drilled Slotted Brake Rotors and Carbon Fiber Ceramic Pads Replacement, K6268-36

After installing the (front and rear) Power Stop Brake Kit on my 2012 F-150, I can honestly say I am very pleased with the results. I immediately noticed the difference in performance. The upgrade from stock to the Power Brake Kit, very impressive. A no nonsense kit, a perfect OEM match and they look cool against my newly painted calipers. (But that’s a different review) A little pricey but very well worth it.

Replaced my 2015 F150 OEM brakes with this kit. Everything fit well, went together easy, and looks good. Bedded the pads in and the truck is topping better than ever before. Super smooth and well behaved braking. Clearly an upgrade to the Ford OEM capability. So good job Power Stop!! Also, notable mention for Amazon and UPS. The box weighed 110 lbs, took a lot to get it to me in good shape, thank you. Some items you might find useful: 1) My OEM brakes lasted 90,000 and I still had plenty of shoe left. Probably because I do not do a lot of towing or stop and go driving. 2) The front brake pads needing replacing because they were cracked, the back were just fine. I replaced them all to keep everything uniform. Also, I am about to tow a car on a trailer about 1000 miles so I want my brakes in top shape. 3) All four rotors were stuck. I found that heating the rotor with a MAP gas torch while I tapped on the back of the rotor was very effective on all four. You do not need to heat the entire rotor, just the portion that the lug bolts go through. Stay away from the center hub, you want that staying cool. And a "tap" is swing hard enough that you will want hearing protection but you can do with your left hand while you hold the torch with your right hand (right handed people). The back of the rotor where the brake shoe travels will get small divits in it so only do this if you do not plan on re-using them. 4) Don't forget to wire brush the rust off where the new rotors will contact with the hub. 5) Don't over lubricate the brake pad guides. Those are the stainless clip-in's that the kit provides replacements for. Just a small amount of lube will do. I put a thin cote on the brake pad ends that contacts the guides and on the guides where they contact brake pad ends. 6) Don't forget to re-lube the travelers and replace the bushings. 7) Torque specs were not easy to find. However, some of the same numbers came up on the more authoratative references. Here is what I used; front the torque: 184 ft-lbs and 27 ft-lbs for the large and small bolts (2 of each) and on the back the torque: 111 ft-lbs and 27 ft-lbs. This was also consistent with the torque range for the bolts. Although consistency is not enough to go on. Many factors were taken into account by the designer so I tend to use factory spec as long as it is consistent with the range for the bolt. 8) I used red loctite on the large bolts. Looked like they had used that at the factory. No loctite on the bolts that thread into the travelers. When the torque value is determined the use of a thread locking compound is considered since it changes the running torque. This in itself is a good reason to use loctite if it was use at the factory. Although none of the videos I watched used loctite. So it might have been an overkill. I am the engineer with a super well equipped garage that has been overhauling my own engines for over 40 years and I have found that what appears to be overkill to a mechanic is frequently what is required to do the job right and produce a reliable result. 9) One final thing, make sure to open the brake fluid reservoir and remove some fluid before you compress the pistons and using one of the old pads and a C-clamp to compress the pistons works well. Compared to getting the job done at a shop; you will save a few hundred bucks, you will get a better job, you will have better pads and rotors, it will look better, your truck will stop better, you will avoid the frustration and drama associated with dealing with a shop and it will take about the same amount of time. So if you have a few tools and do not mind getting your hands dirty this is a great Saturday afternoon DIY project.

Got the kit for my F150. This powerstop kit is very very very nicely done. It arrived in a single box. Everything extremely well marked. For example, each disc had a sticker to tell you where it should be installed. The inner and outer pads are interchangeable, so you can't put them in wrong. The hardware kit is complete and well made. And there is grease with directions on where to apply it. 5 stars for the kit packaging ! The install took me all day but I am not a young guy. I have done brakes before but its been awhile. Also, I did this in my driveway with mostly hand tools. I think the hardest part was getting a torque wrench in the wheel well to tighten the caliper bracket holding bolts (111 ft lbs in rear and a whopping 184 ft lbs in the front). This was hard. Not a fault of the powerstop kit and so I give the install ... 5 stars. When finished installing, I had air in the brake lines because I opened the bleeder when pushing the caliper piston back. Mostly the fronts because the dual pistons meant I had to go back and forth when seating them and I think this sucked air. So, make sure you have brake fluid handy when you do the job. I had a fairly good pedal. Waited for traffic to lessen and did the break in procedure. Important point of the procedure is you cannot stop during the ENTIRE procedure. This means no coming to a complete stop and no touching the brakes outside of the 5 + 5. So, even after doing the 5+5 and cooling down the brakes ... no touching the pedal. Result ... very quiet, extremely good pedal and braking. I like the kit very much. Time will tell how it holds up.

Worked great. Improves breaking power, much better appearance, no more rust. No squeaking. Was happy to remove my old rusted breaks and upgrade my braking ability. Fit and finish is perfect.

I received the box and it looked like it got shipping through a war zone. Just completely pulvarized with holes in it. Not even square, just a taped together big wad of carboard. So I'm knocking off a star for that. Some things were missing obviously but there was enough left that I could get these rotors and pads on my truck. I live amongst seemingly a million white tail deer that love to hang out in the road and run in front of your vehicles. After putting 110,000 miles on my stock F150 brakes I figured its time to replace them. I wanted something at least as good as the factory brakes. I'm not a fan of rotors with holes and slots and all that junk on them (seen many tests where there is literally no difference despite all the sales pitching) but I got these because of the good reviews and the fact that its a complete kit (well, provided they ship straight to you and not through the mean streets of Chicago or Baghdad). I took my time installing them, cleaning the hubs, making sure everything was clean and properly lubed (I've replaced a lot of brakes over my life). The parts all fit perfectly on my truck. They are machined well and apparently balanced as I have no wabbles or vibtrations. I've only had them on for a couple days and have already had to make a few panic stops to avoid deer. I managed to avoid them and they work as well as the factory brakes ever did. I don't know that they are better as I had the towing package and all that on the truck and the stock brakes were good too. I replaced them when they were starting to get some fade when panic stopping. Time will tell but so far these brakes are working well.

I received a quote to replace my rotors and brake pads on my F-150 at the dealership and decided to do the job myslef because it was a fraction of the cost. I use my truck to pull snowmobile trailer in the Rocky Mtns on a weekly basis all winter so decided to go with the upgraded package for towing and I'm glad that I decided to do that. The rotors are drilled and slotted for cooling performance and the pads are great. I've had them on over a year and no issues so far. Pleased with this product and price is great! I was able to get over 100K miles out of the OEM rotors and brake pads and I'm hopeful this will have a similar performance.

An outstanding brake upgrade for my 2017 F150, I recommend this kit without reservation. I had a notable improvement in stopping power, zero vibration, easy run-in procedure that is clearly documented in the kit, they look great mounted up to the vehicle, I have yet to see any rust whatsoever, packaging and shipping were excellent (it's a heavy kit, so this is critical) and, though expensive, the price is quite fair for the quality of the components. I have driven these brakes in all weather across many different parts of the country now, and I like them better than any I have had mounted to any vehicle I've owned, present or past (I've done my own brakes for 20 years). I strongly suggest skipping the sub-par overpriced auto parts store offerings and mount these up. Seriously. You will not regret it.

I bought these because my wife bought a boat and I wanted better stopping power. One of the factory rotors was warped and I had yet to tow anything with the truck. I didn’t trust the OEM’s any longer so I chose these after a friend, with a much larger boat, gave them a great review. I replaced all four rotors and pads. The parts came in a single (heavy) box and the packaging was not damaged. The install was very simple and I had no issues with the parts. My issues were getting the wheels off of the rotors. They were frozen to the rotors and after visiting forums I end3 up taking a 5lb. Sledge to the inside of the rim at the bead. It took several blows but eventually broke free. I only mention these things because it may be helpful for others. It would definitely benefit the install process to have the tires rotated shortly before the install. Fords are notorious for the wheels freezing to the rotors and I was not as diligent with the rotation schedule as is recommended. The rotors and pads were the easy part of the job and everything fit nicely. I followed the break-in procedure exactly as directed in a nearby parking lot and you will know when they are properly heated because you will smell the coating burn off. I Did drive an extra 5 minutes before braking, just to make certain that they were cooled enough. I have since towed the boat several hundred miles and feel comfortable with the stopping power. I had towed the boat with the OEM rotors/pads but one was warped so it may not be fair to say that these are much better. They definitely perform much better that the OEM with a warped rotor! They are drilled and looted rotors so they would almost certainly perform better than the factory parts do. I know they are pricey but I don’ t regret the purchase and feel confident that I can stop with the boat in tow.

I ordered this kit for my 2016 F-150. It was shipped right away. When it arrived the outside packaging was destroyed but when I looked through the contents I was confident everything was there. The install was very straight forward. I followed the break in procedure and they seem great. Great stopping power, quiet, smooth and they look great. These are definitely an upgrade from the originals. I will continue this review in a few years from now and see how well or bad they preform. It’s now getting close to 4 years with this kit and still going strong. Still no warping and stopping power is good. They still don’t look too bad either. I feel I got my moneys worth. I will buy again when it’s time.

I put these on my 2017 F150 XLT 3.5 Ecoboost with manual parking brake. The truck has almost 62k km on it. I bedded them on my way to the convenience store afterwards and they work as advertised. There was nothing wrong with the stock brakes other than they were in need of replacement. The truck stopped well before and it still stops well. Make sure you have more hi temp ceramic grease on hand as the little packets that come with the pads aren’t really enough in my opinion.

Best brakes out there I had an issue with shipping but they sorted it all out and I got my package it was late but I got it. I put these on my 2016 ford f150 and they stop extremely well beat brakes I’ve ever had

Easy install and included everything you need to do the brakes on your truck. Install was a breeze and break-in instructions were easy to understand. Now have a few kilometers on them and really like them. Better than stock! Pulling 6000lbs through the mountains tomorrow and I have confidence that I will be able to safely.

This was exactly as described. Fit and finish was awesome. Install was a breeze other than removing the old rotors. Packaging was the only thing I can complain about. The rotors were in their own boxes and the brake pads and clips separate and loose in a large box. All parts in the box were loose and flopping around and the vac was barely held together when delivered. I know these items are heavy but the interior packaging needs better attention. Needs either foam or more material to hold stuff from moving about inside the box.
