Hello, I have a 2018 Audi A4 Quattro Premium Plus with the 338/330 mm rotors and about 60k miles. It’s time to replace the pads and rotors, and I’m looking at the PowerStop Z23 kit (CRK7531) from RockAuto.

Has anyone here used this kit? How is PowerStop brand ?

The other option is from FCPEuro:

Thanks!

I’ve been using Fidelity exclusively for both my taxable brokerage and retirement accounts for the past 10 years, and overall I’ve been very happy with them.

Recently, I’ve been using margin to buy high-quality stocks for short-term opportunities. The issue is that Fidelity’s margin rate is currently around 11.3% for balances under $50k, which seems quite high.

For those who use Interactive Brokers (IBKR), what has your experience been with their margin account?

What are the biggest pros and cons compared to Fidelity? Is it worth transferring a portion of my portfolio to IBKR primarily to take advantage of their lower margin rates?
