I just bought and installed the power stop z26 street warrior front and rear pads and rotors kit from rock auto for about 460 after taxes and shipping.
Installed smoothly, followed the steps and cleaned the bracket and whatever the rotor mounts to with a wire brush and brake cleaner. Having no issues whatsoever.
Almost 20k miles and still brakes super smooth.
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.
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.
Personally very much like ATE ceramic pads.
OEM brake pads from Audi are mostly good for day to day braking, and some sporty, but not daily very aggressive driving. But they do a lot of dust and noise sometimes. I found the solution to be just change the pads for "ATE Ceramic" if you don't use your car to do track days and very frequent sporty driving. These don't have ceramic components, it's mostly marketing, but they do have two good characteristics from Ceramic pads, mostly zero noise when heated and almost zero dust! And the low dust it produces, it's not black. Breaking power it's maybe a little better coming from OEM, but nothing crazy. Do not use sport discs with ATE Ceramic, the brand actually advises to use normal discs with these.
Powerstop brakes were good on my 2016 GT, and my Duramax truck. They only lasted 1 year on my Q50. StopTech slotted rotors were a pretty nice upgrade over stock and over the Powerstop brakes. They had zero brake fade and lasted longer than anything else I’ve ever ran.
I replaced ,my stock pads with power stop pads ms they are amazing and next to no dust
Read lots of reviews for power stops but also that they started restickering different pads.
changed front pads to powerstop z26 pads. "Broke" them in doing recommended stopping intervals. Now 2 days later going over 60 the car shakes really bad seemingly from the passenger side.
