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.
Owner reviews for brake pads
I just did my Rotors and brakes on my 2nd Gen 2005 and used Bendix Rotors PRT5716 for rears and PRT5675 for front. As for pads I used their Premium Copper free CFC1100 and it major difference in stopping feels like its brand new again. Also pads I did before I hated they were Wagner Ceramic Thermo quiet pads and they squeaked non stop min put them in it drove me nuts I got money use out of them and used them till I couldn't take squeaking anymore LOL
I use Bosch ceramics on mine and they're amazing.
I will move to Raybestos EHT or PowerStop Z23 or Z26 when its time. Wagner has Thermoquiets for those with ear problems.
my GLI did it slightly but it went away when I switched to Centric Ceramic pads. Stock Organic pads were terrible in just about every aspect. The Centrics fixed every issue.
If I have to stand on the brakes they certainly STOP better than the OEM brakes. It's a very good improvement in brake feel as well. The car stops straight now instead of wondering a bit side to side.
Also the Hawk 5.0 pads are GREAT.. squeak a bit, but they are a high torque ceramic pad which have great bite. They dust like crazy.
Bought Audi S3 caliper from a wreck yard on eBay. Also used Hawk 5.0 pads. Tremendous brake upgrade.
Yes forgot to mention mine only started this when switching over to carbotech pads. Stock pads I never saw this issue.
In hindsight, however, I do drive 15 miles up/down/through a mountain pass 5 days a week. That’s gotta be the culprit!
