POWERSTOP CRK694 Rotor & Pad Kit

465,470 km

Left front brakes started squeling Friday September 29. Within 24 hours it started squealing constantly. Metal scrapping sound.. and I was pretty sure the pads are gone.  I should have ordered the brake kit in August when RockAuto had a rebate on POWERSTOP. Stupid error.

Ordered on September 30. $123.34 + shipping + tax.  DHL shipping (& duty) was $62.48.  Arrived Tuesday October 3 at 2pm. Day was dry so installed!

CRK694 Kit includes:

JBR522EVC Evolution Coated Rotors

17621 Z17 Evolution Ceramic Pads

Straightforward install but I had to go out and pickup a 6” C-clamp to compress the brake piston. Started at ~4pm and finished in about 4 hours not including the break-in run.

Break-in was 30 stops from 50km down to 5 km with a minimum 30 second rest between stops.
