Generally, she would have the front's pulsating after a brake job in 5-7K miles. The second kit I installed was on a 2008 Hemi Grand Cherokee for her. This was a complete kit with 4 calipers. Very nice stuff and so far after a year and a half and 20K+ miles, the brakes are still really good.

Mike, the calipers are all good on the (Arizona) car so I just got pads and rotors. Rotors warped on the rear, not what I'm used to, usually the front in most of my cars in the past. I also towed a small U Haul back after my mother passed in Nov, so that may have hastened the brake pulsation and rotor warpage.
Your daughter must drive like she's a race car driver on the street...LOL. Not the first time you mentioned how hard she is on vehicles.
I'm hoping for less brake dust on the wheels with the Power Stop brakes too. I have a set of the cross laced wheels from the mid 90s Bonnevilles on the GP, and they're always got rusty powder from the semi metallic pads all over them. Past experience with carbon fiber is usually a lot less brake dust sticking to the wheels on my GTO with Wagner C/F pads.
