I put R1 concepts on both my RAM and my Wife's lexus RC350 F Sport. Biggest mistake I have made. Both vehicles have drastically increased stopping distance, wheels are coated in dust after only 15 to 20 miles. These are by far the worst brakes I have ever purchased. I was torn between R1 and Powerstop and chose R1 because they are the only company that seems to sell rotors for my wife's car, aside from the dealer at over $700 each. I regret my decision! R1 brakes are horrible.

Powerstop brakes are by far the best value in upgraded brakes for our trucks. I have barely any dust on my wheels after a few weeks of driving. I have never regretted putting them on my truck.

I'm curious how many miles you have thus far on these or how many you got out of them. I'm about to finally change my stock oem brakes from my 2017 1500, that has 112,000 miles on them. I want to get the same out of the next set I put on.

If you want to get the same out of the next set, i would go with the stock replacements. AC Delco makes an OEM replacement.

I just put the powerstop on my truck, in comparison the powerstops stop just as well with 37's on, as my truck did with stock size tires and stock brakes. I think the powerstops are great.

I just replaced mine at 34,000 miles to the powerstop z36. Bed them in yesterday and they seemed great. My stock rotors were toast, pads had about 35% left. My truck sits outside in WNY year round so I was not surprised.
