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 to make the brakes that should’ve come on every new car. Today, PowerStop still aims to provide top quality performance brakes for every vehicle on the road.

With corporate responsibility and dedication always in question, PowerStop is committed to the environment, employee safety and regulation compliance. Between running 100% copper free brake pads well ahead of California and Washington states timelines, they also ensure a like factory fit for all components and perform the same testing as manufactures making new vehicles.

We get a lot of calls and e-mails each day with various product, vehicle, and installation questions. Some are completely off the wall and can even catch us off guard at times, but many others are fairly routine, so we thought we'd post some of the most popular questions that can hopefully be a good resource for you.

Q: How can I tell if my brake rotors are bad?
A: This is a great question! While there are audible indications that the pads are wearing out, the rotors are more physical in their feedback. You'll feel a shuddering in steering wheel when braking, or in your back if its coming from the rear brakes. You'll also likely see grooving, blue spotting on the rotor surface, or even deep scoring. Also, for those looking to ensure they get every millimeter of material used, you can verify the width of the rotor with a micrometer.
