I'd like to think it's not specific to women. I figure there's a lot of folks who drive that way because they don't understand the mechanics of a car. That's how we end up with all those photos and YouTube videos of rotors worn down to the cooling fins.

Per mgarblik's advice, I ordered up the corresponding PowerStop Z23 set for the rear. It's werid - they have a Z26 Extreme kit for the rear, but they don't offer a corresponding Z26 kit for the front. It appears the pad compound is the same as the Z23 but the Z26 have stainless shims so I don't think I'm missing out on too much. It's kind of funny running drilled and slotted rotors on the family truckster. Will report back after 10k to see how they held up.
