Power Stop Z26 pads and rotors. They dust much less than stock, have lower initial bite, which helps with heel/toe downshifts, but similar overall bite to stick pads. I wouldn't try a heavy track day on them, but they're great as a set for aggressive daily driving. I ran the Z23 pads on OEM discs for nine years and approximately 50k miles and they were fantastic. I just upgraded to the Z26 pads and swapped discs about 500 miles ago. Zero complaints.
I went with powerstop OE replacement pads and rotors. I went with the non-track style pads. They're quiet and aren't dusty. I don't track it, zero issues.
Brembo brakes should be your first purchase. Next you need a set of Koni dampers and lowering springs with an adjustable panhard bar. Then it will look much better and put all of its power down and stop on a dime
My 986S with fairly worn out pads/rotors squealed really bad. Finally put new Brembo pads/rotors on and it’s been silent as a church mouse ever since.
I run the powerstop Z23 evolutions with no complaints and no brake shuddering
Stock Brembo sti colour.
On the GD’s I’m partial to the classic red but other than that my preference is my black GR brakes. Understated and don’t clash with anything.
Most you can do is Brembo X-tra pads or equivalent.
after getting the calipers and repairing the threads and installing i noticed these brembo nao pads dont like to just slide into the calipers. Seems like the material on the outside of the pads is a little thick? Theres no debris or warping of that metal shim piece that I can eyeball. Is this common? Im reading alot of people sanding the outside edges to get them to slide in smoothly?
I used PowerStop on my Land Cruiser and they were great, so I installed PoweStop on my wife’s rav4 and they were terrible. Very noisy with the squeaks , clicks, and clunks. I replaced them with Akebono and they have been fine since.
