Hi Guys,

Some Feedback on the Powerbrake Discs and Pads fitted on my car.

So, i have done around 3000km since i fitted the Powerbrake GT4 Discs and Pads (Front) to my 330d. I fitted OEM rear discs and pads at the same time.

Noise:
I have zero noise from the PB setup. I followed bed in procedures as much as i could. High speed or not, no noise. However, i get an annoying squeak from the rear OEM setup at low speed.

Brake Dust:
I wash my car at least twice a week, so i wont really focus on this but its very minimal. I hardly notice it, could be due to the colour of my wheels.

Stopping Power:
Amazing, whenever i need the brakes, they are there and i have become very confident because of this. Cold or hot, wet or dry they work excellently. Even over long brake from high speed, i have yet to feel fade.

Looks:
I must admit, they really have bettered the look of the front wheels and i love the look. Not as good as the M3 type of brakes but much better than the OEM look.

Price:
Value for money is an understatement. I got my kit at almost R800 LESS than the OEM setup and i feel that this is a deal breaker.

Customer Service:
I purchased through a buddy who is an Agent. He actually purchased it and got his dealer discount therefore i got it a couple bucks cheaper than directly from PB, he then delivered to me. However, i will be honest, he runs a business so he wont do this for everyone. At first, i emailed PB through their website and got excellent service and information. I was advised as to what would be the best setup for my needs. PB directly do deliver through a courier company at an extra cost.

Overall:
They are perfect, i have no complaints. I actually think its the 2nd best mod i have done.

I know this not a very convincing review, but that's not my aim. This is a personal opinion, others may vary.

Powerbrake can be purchased from Powerbrake directly, or, i have a buddy that is an Agent for them. IF you need his info, PM me.

Any questions?

Thanks
Arbee

Hey bud, nice meeting you last night.

Yeah, busy compiling a video of all types of exhaust notes. Will take a while to sort and upload though.

So what do you think about the Exhaust notes that you heard on Wednesday Night?

I think that its settled now with the build up of carbon. Its deeper and if i may say so myself, an amazing tone. Took a drive on my PVT race track late last night with the windows down and in DS mode, gave it some stick and man o man, i love it. She sounds like an x35 but with black smoke. :joy:

Arbee, heard your exhaust last night and it has an awesome tone :thumbs:

For those petrol heads out there who think diesels sound like tractors, I think it's time for a reality check. Very soon it's going to be diesels with cool natural tones and petrols with fake speaker generated notes... :fencelook:

Yes, yes, I know I'm selling my diesel to get a petrol - no need to remind me of that one :rollsmile:

Thanks MSM... Appreciate the approval,

For the bold sections, it cannot be said any better.

And yes, you going to soon realize your mistake, or have you already? :fencelook:

Just kidding! Good luck on replacing the D.

I have not heard another diesel sound like yours, trust me i have been watching videos online and have not found anything similar, others were louder at idle, lower at full load, or vice versa, but yours is ..... friggin awesome.

:bravo::bravo:

Thanks bud... Reason i ask, as you pointed out, many videos i have watched also have the same criteria you mentioned. Yet, mine is totally different.

I guess if my car didnt bellow out so much devil smoke, one would easily think its a x35.
