Power stop is a great upgrade, I use the z23 pads.
They’ve been performing great, it can stop much faster. Went with Power Stop Z23 pads.
I got these. Cheap, good quality, good braking and look cool. Power Stop K7175 Front Z23 Carbon Fiber Brake Pads with Drilled & Slotted Brake Rotors Kit
if you're after brands of parts, the go to ones are Brembo, EBC, Pagid, ATE, Bosch, and TRW.
I always get Powerstop Brakes from Amazon. A set of Front & back costs me less than 500-600AED. Previously I used to buy Brembo's (OEM) as costed me 1200 AED for front & Back . I don't see any noticeable performance issues at all. The work the same way.
A $30 set of carbon ceramic powerstop pads will fix that.
Did the front / rear rotors and pads myself with Power Stop kit. Excellent upgrade and with 30k miles on them have tons of life left.
I used Power Stop Z261440 and Z261807 for a year with good results. Low dust, no squeaking
OE benz brakes have small depressions drilled in to the face of the rotors. When those disappear, you need new brakes. If you see dimples, go on to the next square...I have a 2019 C43. Second set of pads front, Second set rear, 106k miles. My wear indicators are almost gone, so I have a set of OE brembo rotors and Benz pads sitting on the shelf. I am waiting for the dashboard warning light...front and rear have a sensor that will alert you when you are almost done.
just swapped out my original brake pads and rotors for some oem rotors with the brembo aftermarket pads hoping to avoid the dust that the original trw pads creates. all went well with install, everything seemed to fit nicely, but after about 10 miles the pads started jumping up and down in the carrier any time id hit a bump in the road. ive seen the threads talking about this issue with certain aftermarket companies, but figured id put it out there that brembo is another one that seems to have made their pads just a tiny bit shorter than original giving it enough room to slide up and down. side to side is fine, but the noise is unbearable for what it is. threw my oe pads back on and will be getting a new set of vw pads in the am. cant stand the dust but its wayyyy better than the car sounding like it did with those pads. these companies need to include shims or something.
