PowerStop Rear Brake Kit For Dodge Durango 2004-09 |Ram 1500 2002-18 |1500 Classic 2019-24- Truck & Tow Carbon Fiber Ceramic Brake Pads + Drilled & Slotted Rotors Upgrade, K2172-36

I have had the front pads and rotors on my 2018 Ram 1500 Laramie 4x4 for over a year. I was impressed by their initial quality and stopping power. Especially when pulling my 23ft travel trailer. They do not pull or fade and have worked really well. Since it was time for the rear brakes to be changed, I went with the same kit but for the rear. These were straight forward and easy to install. I would suggest buying high temp brake grease from your local auto parts store (especially if you have more than one car to maintain) as the packet of grease provided is just not enough for both sides. I like these brakes and they are a great upgrade from stock in my opinion. I could really care less about the cross drilled/slotted rotors, but it does add a nice look to your vehicle when installed.

2015 Ram 1500 Crew 4x4 towing 9k. These brakes rock! 1,000 miles on them and zero issues whatsoever. They are quiet, clean (not rusty), no dust. Because these are zinc plated and did not appear to have preservative on the rotors, I did not clean them with any kind of soap or solvent. This is no problem for the fronts but rears need to be cleaned with soapy water prior to installation. This is specifically for the parking brake shoe contact surface (integrated drum). My parking brake would not hold for about a week after install, so I ended up having to drag the shoes to rough up the wear surface and then after a good rainstorm and star adjustment, it held up to 1500 rpm during inspection. Problem solved! **UPDATE** 7/30/22 I now have approximately 20k miles of mixed highway and city driving on my RAM. I have also towed a 10,000lb. Loaded travel trailer since installing the brakes. I have a brake controller and used to use it more frequently with the stock rotors and pads. Now I use the controller just for bumping the trailer brakes when I sense some sway. I can definitely tell these pads and rotors are doing a better job. The zinc coating still looks good with no signs of visible rust. The brake pads still bite really well and there is absolutely no brake fade- it’s incredible. No noticeable brake dust either (I think my wheels stay cleaner actually). I will be buying a set for my wife’s Chevy Traverse soon.

5 years later and they are still working great! They hold up very well and I’m impressed with how they have worn. Super easy to instal

This seems to be a great product. I bought mine last week, and after a minor snafu with Amazon shipping I got it yesterday. They went on pretty smoothly(given that I had to borrow a large axe to pound the old ones off of the axle), but to my surprise the noise that I thought were my pads ended up being the 'parking brake pads'. Yep! There is not much mentioned in the manual or on-line about the need to probably be prepared to order a pair of these when you replace brake pads,and rotors. I got my drivers side rotor off only to find out that the "parking brake pads" were coming apart. My Ram has 110,000 miles on it and I'm almost certain these have never been changed. Reading through the Ram service manual you will find out that in order to replace these bad boys you WILL have to remove the axle. Which means opening up the rear end, aligning the axle from the inside, marking it, remove something of a cotter pin or key, and pulling the axle out far enough to be able to get to the brake pads behind the plate on the tire-end of the axle. So I know that replacing this pad set was probably the only smart choice but I was not even prepared for doing this at this time, so I will not be applying the parking brakes until I have a shop do this for me at a later date. Bottom line: The reviews on this product are overwhelming and for probably a very good reason. I purchased the front set as well so I will try to update this review after some time on the road......And don;t forget about your parking brake pads boys and girls!!!

Installation was fairly simple using the “American truck” YouTube video. One thing I found was I had to dial back on the parking brake shoes! I ended up wrecking the shoes on one side. I ended up replacing all of the parking brake shoes, and those are an absolute nightmare to replace compared to replacing the rotors and brake pads. Apparently, it’s very important to seat the pads onto the rotors after initial installation. There are no instructions on installing the rotors and brake pads but useful information is available online. I’ve got a couple hundred miles on the new brakes and I’m very satisfied with their performance.

I have run PowerStop kits on several vehicles, all of which performed well and installed straight forward, so my expectations where high. This kit was the same, fit perfectly, stops great, no squeaks, shuddering, or other issues. Take your time, and bed the pads in per instructions (vital!) and you'll be good to go.

Put these on my '19 ram 1500 classic, figured I'd try them out. The cons are definitely they look great as I have aftermarket wheels and can see them pretty well when you're standing at a distance. But most importantly, under normal driving I certainly wouldn't say there's a difference HOWEVER, if you tow or haul, drive in a hill or mountainous area or heavy stop and go traffic the lack of brake fade is absolutely a huge difference. My favorite part about these is the brake pad compound (NO BRAKE DUST all over your front wheels) theres really no cons to these, unless you just do normal driving then I'd say save the money and get normal pads and rotors. But if you want a performance upgrade or even just the looks these are worth it, especially if you're needing new brakes anyways.

I put this kit on my 2015 RAM 1500 Longhorn. Everything went together as expected. There was about 1/3 the amount of grease that you should actually apply in the little packet. So I'll have to get more and put it on later. I don't know if there is a specific break-in for these, but I did what I usually do, and they are nice and strong, no fade. When my front pads wear out, I'll definitely do the fronts with z36's.

I ordered this set of read Power Stop rotors and pads for the rear of my 2014 Ram 1500 pickup. I put a set of them on the front about 2 years ago, and I am very impressed. After 2 years, may thousands of kilometers the rotors are still shiny and new looking up front (coating holds up VERY well), and their pads generate nearly zero dust! This is one of the biggest selling features for me. Well that and the power and confidence with these. PROS: - Rotors stand up to the elements and the slotted and drilled rotors perform as well as they look - Pads are powerful and generate a ton of stopping power. GREAT for towing and hauling, they do not fade like OEM brakes - Stainless retainers are very nice and identical to the OEM stuff (maybe a bit thicker too) - No squeeling, no noise, great out of the box - No dust on your wheels! This is huge, and compared to many OEN style organic pads, these are dust free. Complex wheels, get these now!! CONS: - Price maybe? Though value for money these are well worth the slightly higher price - Grease. The tiny high temp grease packet with the pads is just a tad too small, more of an annoyance than a CON My only wish is that I ordered them all as a set. Front and rear rotors, pads and calipers. The OEM Calipers I picked up rusted and look terrible beside the minty fresh silver rotors. Oh and be sure to closely follow the break in procedures on the instructions. This can make or break your experience.

I'm really impressed with this item as it differently changes the performance of breaking with load. I drive around with a 5000 lb heavy trailer all year and theese breaks are amazing just be careful I've notice that when you break had and long they tempt to not functioning well for a little bit.

I purchased the same type of rotors and pads a few months ago for the front and they have performed as expected. Fit was perfect. Brake pads do not create a lot of dust residue on wheels which I am really happy about. Overall, very satisfied with these products.

Major upgrade over stock. Stock brakes needed to be replaced, huge difference. Stops noticeably quicker, works well with towing (small trailer w/motorcycle). Make sure you follow the break in instructions. Will be buying the front set when the fronts go.

So Far everything seems excellent... Although when i ordered i was told my rear rotors were back ordered.. They would contact me when they got some.. After a week i saw them come up as available from the same place, but 100$ more expensive. So kindof a scam going on there .. Over all though them seem solid .. No issues after 2weeks
