I got the z23 pads with their drilled slotted rotors. They make a weird clicky noise that's nonstop and gets worse when you brake. It's not loud but audible.
Cons: clicky noise

I have had power stops before on my firebird formula and they were great, it seems for the imports they are not as good.
Pros: were great on firebird
Cons: not as good for imports
I am running the power stop cross drilled and slotted with carbon fiber and ceramic pads. But it is only because it was so cheap I couldn't pass it up.
Pros: cheap, carbon fiber
I recommend Powerstop pads and rotors. I’ve had their pads for about a year and the pads are about an 8th worn. They say they’re carbon fiber infused but I don’t know how accurate that is. But they feel great and for performance rotors they offer a lot of bang for your buck.
Pros: great feel, good value
Cons: pad wear unknown
Im using Zimmerman coated blanks with PowerStop ceramic pads. I've had them for about 12k miles front and rear without issues
Pros: no issues, 12k miles
Mileage: 19312 km
This is the pad I'm using on track. I use Z26-1001 on street. If you search by pad on Powerstops site, it shows you all the cars that use the same pad. They don't have the Macan listed, but I can confirm they are the correct pad and you can see that almost every 4 pot Brembo OEM system uses the same pad.
Pros: correct pad
Vehicle:
Porsche
Part number: Z26-1001
For brakes, I have Power Stop on all of my cars. But I've heard nothing but good things about Akebonos too.
Pros: good brake performance
I have Power Stop all around on my daily driver - a Pontiac Vibe base. Z17 Ceramic pads in front, Geomet-coated rotors (note that the coating will wear off quickly where the pads contact, but it does keep the rest of the rotors from getting rusty), and OE-style semi-metallic shoes in the back. Stock calipers. Not sure how they do with more spirited driving, but I think they work very well for my daily. No noise, no noticeable dust, good braking power.
Pros: good braking, no noise, little dust
Cons: tabs too big, coating wears
I'm REALLY picky about brakes... I've been down this road more than a few times and finally settled on Powerstop Evolution pads... they bite really well, warm or cold weather, and they don't eat the rotors alive either I think they are the best street pads I've found to date.
Pros: bites really well, no noise
Cons: excessive dust
Powerstop Evolution from rockauto.com. As quiet and dust-free as OEM, but with a bit more stopping power. They’re also much cheaper than OEM.
Pros: quiet, dust-free, more stopping power
