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.
