POWER STOP › Brake pads

PowerStop stuff is good. I have these same Z23 Evo pads on my LS430 front and rear with some Raybestos rotors. (Not drilled or slotted)They are quiet, they dust very minimally compared to the Brembo pads I used to use and last way longer. They don’t quite stop like the Brembo’s, but they’re no slouch either. For long lasting pads that are great for everyday driving, I can recommend them without hesitation.

Pros: quiet, minimal dust, long lasting

Cons: don't stop like Brembo

Vehicle: Lexus

I got some from brakeperformance for about 350$ including ceramic pads which are 25$ extra, front back rotors and pads, pretty sure I put the back rotors on wrong but oh well, electronic PB is a pain in the ass to put in maintenance mode.But remember we only have 200hp unturned, we don't really need slotted and drilled brakes but man does the car stop fast so that's a plus

Pros: stops fast

Vehicle: Honda Civic

I have these on my 06 Ram ($432) and I just made 3 years in August with these. I saw major improvement on my braking and no warpage at all. I used to go through brakes and rotors like crazy just because the ram is such a heavy vehicle to stop (my driving doesn't help). I will not use any other brand now. Just make sure that you bed them as instructed.

Pros: major improvement, no warpage

Vehicle: Dodge RAM

Nah these are solid and I would say probably one of the best non big brake kits you could possibly get performance wise that's just my opinion though. I run their Carbon weave track pads, the braided steel brake lines, front and rear calipers, and drilled/slotted rotors got the entire front/rear kit w calipers for about 700 and the lines were about 150 I think. I've had them for 3 years now and they've been amazing I've done one set of pad changes so far and I'm going to be doing pads again and replacing the rotors next summer I've not had one problem with the parking brake sticking or the calipers siezing. Rotors haven't cracked or warped or anything and still have a smooth feel to them braking no Hotspots. The rotors themselves also held up amazing rust wise. This is on a 2007 civic Si. I also have not had one instance of brake fade and the bite is MUCH better than OEM.

Pros: amazing brakes, no fade

Cons: caliper chipping

Vehicle: Honda Civic

Have this on my Beamer, they work pretty good. Can’t complain for the price. They fade a little quick in comparison, but that’s when you are stopping from a buck or so. Honestly not bad just don’t get them too hot.

Pros: work pretty good

Cons: fade quickly

Vehicle: BMW

These cheap drilled / slotted rotor and pads set can be strangely good at times. I got a set for my dad's 2003 Santa Fe in 2016, and they're still going strong and smooth after 50k miles.

Pros: going strong, smooth

Vehicle: Hyundai Santa Fe

Mileage: 50000 km

I have the exact same setup on my 91 miata. Same bundle with pads and all. I paid around that price and I've had them on for 2 months and love them. Huge difference over my stock setup. Replaced calipers at the same time and everything is smooth with no weird noises.

Pros: love them, huge difference

I haven’t heard of fake brake pads but be careful. The main reason I’m commenting is HP+ pads might be good for autox but if you have experience on track, I’d avoid. Granted, my experience using them was on a 2015 WRX but you can overheat the pads pretty quickly on a heavy braking circuit.

Cons: overheat quickly

Vehicle: Subaru

I'm jumping in here on red stuff EBCs. They're good for initial bite but have awful brake fade on light applications and are noisy as hell. I've pulled the rears off twice to smear the backing plate in grease just to keep them quiet. Probably should've just replaced them entirely. Not worth.

Pros: good initial bite

Cons: awful brake fade, noisy
