POWER STOP › Brake pads

Dust:

For pads I'm going powerstop z26, good reviews on these and least dusty of the performance ceramic pad options from what people are saying. For rotors I'm going advics high carbon blanks. I've used slotted, drilled/dimples and rotors with both and I've always had cracking or warping issues over time. While they don't look as cool all I care is longevity for a daily driver and I don't planing to track my IS lol.

Pros: good reviews, least dusty

Cons: cracking, warping issues

Vehicle: Lexus IS

Mileage: 44000 km

I just put red stuff on my Stinger GT2 and love them . I also put geo series drilled and slotted rotors. What I will share with you is I had to pull the metal plates off my break pads so that they could fit but other than that their great.

Pros: great brakes, good performance

Cons: pads needed modification

Vehicle: Kia

I have the T2s and the DBA SP Street Performance Brake Pads, the green ones, on 4 corners along with SS brake lines. They have been rock solid since sept of 2022 over 50k miles. Hardly any brake dust compared to Stoptech street semi metallic. They are a great all-round setup, Street and canyons.

Pros: rock solid, little brake dust

Mileage: 50000 km

I've been daily driving my SR11 for a year, and almost 10k miles in my Type R. Never had these issues, not even close. As someone else said, I have immediate bite even in zero degree temps. Have tracked them a few times with no issues either. I bought another set for when these eventually wear out, although that is taking a while.

Pros: immediate bite, consistent braking

Vehicle: Honda Civic

Mileage: 10000 km

I've been running the stock brakes with aftermarket pads for a few years and it's worked well for me. Mintex 1144, Ferodo DS2500 and Roddisons pads have all been great.

Pros: worked well, great performance

My Carvana car needed new tires and brake pads, and the rotors resurfaced on my brakes. I took it to Firestone at Silverrock’s request. They did all of the claim stuff for me, were very professional and had my car done within 6 hours. No complaints here

Pros: professional, car done quickly

Noise:

I have Powerstop pads on my MJ, possibly rotors too, can’t remember for sure though, and they don’t squeak at all. I also run Powerstop pads on my personal truck as well as company trucks and they seem to do very well. Much better than OEM Ram pads, that’s for sure.

Pros: don't squeak, much better

EBC Ultimax brakes, from PerfectBrakes.com - low dust, fantastic performance. My cruise control took a while to get used to the new brake pads.

Pros: low dust, fantastic performance

Cons: cruise control adjustment needed

I took my XC40 to a local mechanic who only works on Volvo's and Saab vehicles and the cost for brakes, rotors, and oil change was $1200.

Cons: expensive

Dust:

My wheel looked the same after an autocross day with my 2017 Mustang GT. I was daily driving these pads a couple years ago, and they nearly destroyed my wheel finish when I left the dust on too long (not to mention how incredibly noisy they were). It took multiple washes with iron remover and the wheels off the car to properly clean it all off.

Cons: destroyed wheel finish, incredibly noisy

Vehicle: Ford Mustang
