Spring of 19' @ 18K miles I did the full Z36 kit (rotors/pads, warped OE rear rotors) -- Friday did all new pads @ 61,680 miles.
Minimal heavy towing/hauling but I do drive the truck like a car and I am hard on brakes/tires so take that for what it's worth.
I noticed some mild squealing over the past month but I didn't get a chance to really look at the brakes. Last weekend I did headers on my truck and noticed the inner front pads were very thin compared to the outer pads so I ordered new front pads.
The passenger side front lower slide was a little crusty at the fully collapsed position, I cleaned it up and lubed the crap out of it and it was much better. My guess is based on the pad wear the piston side applies a bit more pressure to the inner pads vs outer.
Rear pads were warrantied by Powerstop as one pads started to lift from the backing plate, they still had some life to them.
Over all I am very happy with the set up and will continue to buy their product.
The rotors looked to be in good shape short of intermittent rear pulsing, which is driving me nuts. It's not constant like a warped rotor. though. Sometimes its stops smooth as can be, other times it feels like the back of the truck is hopping up and down, WTF.
