I had Z26s on my first TSX. Those things made my stock brakes feel like a joke. They also look cool on the car too. I'm planning to get them again for my current tsx when it's time to replace my pads.
I used power stop on a TSX and a Pilot without any issues.
I had the entire bundle with the red calipers and everything on my TSX. Worked great had them for about three years when someone totaled my car. I would recommend them for the price.
I’ve had a full set of Powerstop Z23’s on my TSX Wagon for 4-yrs. The carbon ceramic pads have really held up well and have virtually no dust to cleanup. Rotor surface is generally rusted from water/dampness but clears immediately after driving. Center hat has zinc coating and is still bright silver color. Car driven year round in SW lower Michigan.
With the XP8s I had, I left early and bed my pads in on the way to the track.
My go to pad and rotor combo has always been Akebono ASP pads which are GG rated paired with Centric blank rotors. It handles high heat very well.
