Rotor* lol
Yes indeed, I have used Power Stop brakes for about 20 years now and they have always had great products. I'm currently running the Z17 kit and it is awesome for my needs. The kit has a totally coated rotor that doesn't rust, and the pads are low dust and dead silent.

I have been super happy with Centric Premium rotors and Akebono ProAct ceramic pads. I will be buying my 4th set when the 2016 needs brakes replaced.

No - just make sure you go with the GM OE stuff (I think it's called "GM Genuine" now) - that's what came on the car. ACDelco Silver or Gold is a step down from that. I went with GM OE front and rear when I replaced the brakes on our Diesel because I was very happy with the performance and the life and saw no reason to change the compound and especially the rotors. I also went GM OE when I replaced my rear brakes this past summer on my Volt.
That said, I put Z23 pads on my brother's Century (on GM OE rotors) as he wanted a little bit more bite to go with his bigass swaybars. I'm sure they won't have the wear characteristics of the OE pads, but I've been happy with those pads on that vehicle (as well as my buddy's Cobalt, which was my first experience with Z23 pads).

Oh ya, I have bought 90% of my mods from them with great service over the years, I am from Canada but ALWAYS buy American products lolThe kit uses Z17 pads.
ZZP has solid stuff, I buy from them every now and then.
Put this kit on my 2014 Diesel this summer and it's performed well. Didn't have to replace the originals until 120K miles.

I installed StopTech Sport slotted/cross drilled rotors with the Z23 carbon fiber/ceramic pads. The Cruze can go from gradual, smooth and gentle stops to brutal, eye-ball-popping stops if needed. Perhas a bit of an overkill for streeet driving but I like the added security and confidence.
I was buying all-GM or Wagner for all our cars; the last time (front pads and rotors on my '99 Silverado) I ended up going with the private brand at O-Reilly Auto ... they are my favorites so far ... decent cost, and turns out they are made by Bosche.
