    Those look like the powerstop brakes but for the 04+ powerstop gets pricey for those so I'm not sure.

    I have those brake motive. They are decent for the price and never had any issues with them. I didnt get the pads just rotors. Just got anither set. My first set lasterd over 3 years no wrapping. They rust easy so keep the rotor hats and edges painted and you will be fine..for the money cant beat them imo.

    I ran a set for a year on my Duramax before I sold it. No issues there.

    I'm currently running a set on my wifes Bravada, 20k miles and no issues.

    I'm currently running a set on my 04 GTP, 21k miles and no issues.

    I'd buy them again!

    I have those exact brakes on my 05 and yes, as they heat up with anything but light braking they sound like a helicopter taking off. Brakemotive is just a PowerStop reseller btw.

    I love my powerslot pads and drilled / slotted rotors. They make a heck of alot of noise during very heavy braking and you can hear a weird quiet rapid whooshing noise during low speed braking in a enclosed area like a tunnel but that's just what slotted rotors do. They bite hard and take an astonishing amount of abuse.... I have literally caused heat discoloration on mine and they still haven't warped. 150mph panic stops do some terrible stuff to rotors.

    Is the noise obnoxious? That almost turns me off for those, I'd get the powerstop non slotted ones if so.

    The only person who ever noticed was my buddy who is an absolute car nutter. It was a deserted road in the middle of nowhere and it was silent out with our windows down... when we both came to a stop he looked over and said "Whats that quiet swooshing noise"? Otherwise noone else has ever noticed. As far is loud during extreme braking goes.... I have never asked anyone if they could hear my glowing red brakes groaning at me as I navigated around a truck at 100mph doing a panic stop. I have however had comments on passengers "feeling like their eyes were going to pop out" when I hit the brakes hard. Also can tell you this.... I will never go back to regular rotors. These make my eyes damn near pop out of my head when I slam on the brakes. Love them.
