PowerStop Brakes

PowerStop Brake Kits, Brake Rotors, Brake Pads, Brake Calipers, Brake Hoses and More

 

Every brake pad PowerStop manufactures uses a carbon-fiber ceramic material, providing a dust-free, noise-free, fail-free braking experience. PowerStop engineers work to ensure everything they make is a direct bolt-on replacement for the original brakes, making it easy to upgrade any vehicles braking performance. And PowerStop tests all of their products using the “LA Traffic Test,” the same test that auto manufacturers use when designing new vehicles. PowerStop co-founder Arvin Scott has spent his entire life around cars. As a kid, Arvin would spend his summers helping run the cash register at his grandfather’s auto parts store in the outskirts of Chicago. Early on, Arvin realized that most vehicles suffer from weak brakes. With PowerStop, he set out make the brakes that should have come on every new car. Today, the goal for PowerStop is to provide top quality performance brakes for every vehicle on the road.  Accesspeed is proud to offer PowerStop products to our customers. With our lowest price match guarantee, you will always find the best combination of price and selection at Accesspeed.

Front Big Brake Kits

 

What is a front big brake kit?

A front big brake kit is a complete front brake system with oversized calipers, rotors, and pads to fit the front driver and passenger side of your vehicle.  Ideally, the calipers will house larger, more efficient pistons to help increase braking performance. The larger front rotors and pads help with heat dissipation, and cooler running brakes tend to perform better. 

 

What does a front brake kit do?

Stopping your vehicle quicker, in a shorter distance, and with reduced brake fade is much safer. Some people upgrade their brake pads, others choose drilled or slotted rotors, some add stainless brake lines, and even more simply upgrade to a premium brake fluid. However, front big brake kits combine all those upgrades and add high performance calipers for the ultimate way to achieve maximum stopping power. As a bonus, most big brake kits fill that gap behind your wheels and can increase your vehicle’s resale value.  

 

Are front brake kit upgrades worth it? 

Absolutely. Yes!!!  From a safety perspective, vehicles with increased performance, larger wheels, and/or larger tires should add a front big brake kit as soon as possible. The increased stopping power of a front big brake kit can mean the difference between stopping and blowing past your stop.

 

What are the best front big brake kits?

While this question is loaded, Accesspeed offers several brands of front big brake kits, including Brembo, Wilwood, Baer, Stoptech, AP Racing, SSBC, Rotora, R1 Concepts, Alcon and PBR. Each front big brake kit manufacturer has its own unique place in the brake market, making it difficult to play favorites.  

 

Do I need bigger front brakes if I run bigger wheels and tires?

Yes. Bigger wheels and tires are both bad for your brakes, but bigger AND heavier wheels and/or tires are bad for your front brakes. In most cases, a 10% increase in wheel/tire size and/or weight will reduce your front brake system performance by 10%. This problem is most obvious on trucks, SUVs and Jeeps running oversize wheels and tires. If you have already upgraded to bigger wheels or tires, you may have already learned this fact, and hopefully not the hard way.  

 

Why do front big brake kits cost more than factory OEM?

Most OEM front brake systems are designed and built by the millions for production vehicles, using the least costly materials and methods possible. Aftermarket front big brake kits are designed and manufactured in smaller quantities using higher quality materials, advanced production methods, and achieving higher performance braking goals.  In addition to R&D and production investments, aftermarket front big brake kits have a higher marketing cost per unit sold.
