are Power Stop brake kits any good? Link
Looking to replace my OEM brakes, need pads and I get vibration on braking so I need new rotors as well, 120k on these rotors.
Anyway, I found these for $420 for all 4 rotors and all pads. It is a power Stop Brake kit.

Has anyone used this brand, or have any information on it? They seem cheap compared to the other options(Stop Tech are $150 a piece just for the rotors, etc.) A complete Stop Tech would run me around $750.

Good brakes. Pads take a little longer than most to fully seat but once they do they stop well. I have had the fronts for 8k+ miles and the rears for about 1k miles. Seem to be holding up well. The rotors I have came from them powder coated so they still look good.

Cool. Did you get the Z36 kit as posted above or the Z26 kit? I'm leaning toward Z36 even though I don't tow(nice for the extra stopping power), but would get the Z26 if the pads lasted a lot longer and if the Z36 dusted a ton more.
How was the brake dust, a ton more the OEM pads?

It looks like I lied to you. I have Stoptech brakes and posi queit pads. Both are from the same company. Damn names run together.
To answer your question, dust is not bad at all with what I have. I paid $255 for rear axle and $210 for front axle. My brothers wife is the inventory manager for a parts store. You can find them close to that price online tho.
Your best stopping power is going to be with a metallic pad but will be higher dust but may not last as long. Ceramic will have less dust and longer wear.
