Interesting. I've never gotten less than 50-80k kms out of a set of brakes until I got the Transit. The rears were shot at 30k and now my second set of rears is done at 86k. Fronts aren't making noise yet, but they're very close to spent.
The reviews for the power stop stuff are mostly from Ford Truck owners looking for an upgrade from the horrible stockers. Those reviews are almost all positive. Grassroots motorsports has some favourable threads regarding Powerstop too.
I'm not really looking for increased brake performance, just a decent replacement that's not factory, and won't cake the wheels in dust every week. I'm a lead foot, but at the same time, very easy on brakes.
Of the 100 or so reviews I skimmed over, your experience is about the only negative one. Just my luck.
