Is there any real difference between the super heavy duty from power stop and others and standard OEM pads and rotors?
I drive an F150 with tool boxes, lumber racks, and often pull a dump trailer (around 7k pounds loaded). I've never gotten more than 30k miles out of a set of pads, and often warp the rotors. I'm wondering if it makes any sense to buy the aftermarket stuff that's supposed to exceed OEM specs. I tried powerstop once, got the same 30k out of them. I have no problem spending money on brakes, if the parts cost a thousand bucks then they cost a thousand bucks, I just need my truck to stop and not have to replace them every eighteen months.
