13 needs rotors and pads; Powerstop

I'll tell you how they are early next week as I ordered this set back on Wednesday. :D  I got it all from autoanything.com for $440.54 and next day shipping but they apparently still shipped it as 2nd day according to my tracking information. :(

I think a few members have used power stop stuff and seem to be happy with them for street applications only.
 
I've used them on my diesel years ago. I looked at rotors and pads shortly after I got my car but nobody had them until now I suppose.

You have the performance package? That's my issue, I can't tell if the kit works for PP SHO or not since I have thicker pads than non-PP.

Did you see a "Top Cop" package for the Powerstop kit?  That used to be the PI/PP offering from them.

EDIT:  Looks like you have to buy the pads & rotors separately.
2010-12 PP:  Front : Z37-1158  Rear : Z37-1377
2013+ PI:  Front : Z37-1611  Rear : Z37-1612
 
OH, so if I get the Top Cop pad's; those are the thicker pads that I have on my PP car?

It looks like I would need all of this to make set;

Rotors Front: AR85141XPR
Rotors Rear: AR85142XPR

Pads Front: Z37-1611 (Z37 Top Cop)
Pads Rear: Z37-1612 (Z37 Top Cop)

Non-PP for me which is why I just got the std kit offering which should still be way better than stock...I'm hoping at least.
 
I have the Performance Pack,  The Brakes and Rotor from the Factory are the best you can get in my humble opinion(unless you want wilkwoods).  If anything I would use stock rotors and upgrade you pads, if you looking to improve stopping. If you looking for esthetics then I guess those will work.

I have road coursed my car, several times, and trust me when I say if I had those rotors(depicted in website picture) I would crack them easily.  I have a friend with Carbotech pads and uses stock rotors, his has more bite than my factory pads, but also are noisier when stopping on the street. I am thinking about upgrading the pads... but for all around performance I can not beat the Factory Performance Pads.

Our rotors are reverse hat to aid in cooling them, and have more mass to help dissipate the heat.

My 2 cents :)

I think so, but best to call PowerStop to confirm.

Mac's suggestion has great merit, make SURE you get the PP rotors though, apparently  that's not a guarantee even from the factory!

The performance rotor have more veins to cool quicker than non-performance.  My friend did the up grade for his 2013 SHO without the package, and he compared them.

*Tidbit* When rotors have Slots and cross drilling, you give up surface area.. which your pads need to stop... also reducing said surface area will not allow the rotor to dissipate heat evenly, and cracking can happen, and most often does with cross drilled rotors.

My rotors are a beautiful hue of blue, and some pad transfer still left on them from Blackhawk Farms Raceway.... LOL
 
Does anyone have legitimate PN's for the rotors and pads from a PP?

I emailed TASCA and they sent me a quote ($300 for rotors and pads) and say they are for 2013 SHO PP vehicle.
 
Also not that the PP pads contact more of the peripheral area of the rotor than the nonPP pads... This should make them stronger stoppers if the MCs are equal.

Towards outside only or also to the inside/center of rotor, do you have a pic?

Towards the outside... Sorry, no pic but the PP is rounded following the circumference of the disk while the nonPP is straight across the periphery with the dye parallel to the disk diameter.
 
Here's a pic of the EBC pads for '10-'12 PP vs nonPP:

HTH.
 
Edit. Damn to slow.  Thx shodded. I had to dig through the google + photos to find that.

Top is non pp

Bottom is up

2010 RCM non PP

RX OCC with CSS

unleashed tune 12.90@106
 
I see, thanks!  Will be going with PP version when I do my Flex brakes since the calipers and rotor sizes are the same.

Do the pads actually reach further towards the outside edge of the rotor so there is a smaller area there for the rotors to rust, if so that would be a nice bonus.
