Front brake replacement on 2017 Pacifica

I'm going to be replacing my front rotors and pads for sure and possibly the calipers depending on how the look. Any suggestions on brands I should use? I live on the west coast so we drive through the mountains a couple times a year and I tow a small utility trailer occasionally. Powerstop has a reasonable priced kit out. Has anyone ever used Powerstop and what is your experience? I usually like to go OEM but the prices are crazy! Any suggestions would be great!

A couple members on here installed the Power Stop kit with the drilled & slotted rotors from RockAuto.com. They report really good performance from that. I have Power Stop Z23 pads and Raybestos coated rotors installed on the front. They perform really well. There's no need to replace the caliper unless it's sticking or damaged. You definitely want to check the guide pins and make sure they're properly lubricated and moving freely.

Awesome thanks for the response! Yeah I'm hopeful that my calipers are good but I have some irregular wear on the inside of my left front rotor, so I'll have to take a good look! I'm glad to hear people are having no issues with Powerstop because they are a descent price and readily available!

I run this setup on pretty much everything I own.
Better bite, better pedal feel, runs far cooler, outlasts OEM, eliminates warpage issues.
The only thing is to make sure you follow the proper break in procedure.

Thanks I appreciate your comments. It's looking pretty good for me buying Powerstop kit!
