The PowerStop front and rear rotor (Geomet-coated) and brake pad kit fit like the original, and they work and look great.
If you’re a DIYer, you shouldn’t have any problem installing the kit yourself. The rubber inserts for the caliper bolts are a little tough to switch, but that’s the only challenging part of the job.
The kit is about $50 less expensive than similar products in the reviewer’s local parts store. That’s not even for the better coated rotors, which cost more.
Why You May Need a PowerStop Front and Rear Rotor and Brake Pad Kit
We had a brake pulse (steering wheel shake) when stopping (front) and some noise in the rear. The car needed the rotors machined or replaced along with new pads. I went with replacement.

This DIY-friendly kit looks great, fits like the original, and gets rid of brake pulsing, while being $50 less expensive than similar products on local parts stores, depending on your location.

Initial Observations
The brakes and rotors came in great condition and looked great. I like the option of the coated rotors, so that’s what I went with.
The Fit
I matched up everything before installing and they are correct. Installation went well and everything fit like the original.
Installation
Installation was easy. It’s a typical brake job and it didn’t take too long. If you’re a do-it-yourself person you shouldn’t have any problem. On this model (2004 Chrysler Town & Country Touring 6 Cyl 3.8L), there are rubber inserts for the caliper bolts to go into, and they came with the kit. Those are a little tough to switch, but that’s just because of the way they are, not because of the parts.
Performance and Overall Quality
