Replaced the pads on my Audi A4 with powerstop, and they're a big upgrade. Significantly less brake dust from the OEM too.
I have used the power stop Z36 pads with drilled and slotted rotors on the last 3 trucks I’ve had. I love them. I tow a 8-12k pound dump trailer pretty regularly and have never had an issue. Even with the added weight, they still outlast and outperform OE style by a long shot.
Z26 power stops with oem 1.8 brackets / calipers. They’re carbon ceramic brakes, they produce almost no brake dust, they don’t squeak at all and they brake REALLY good for street driving. ( get the power stops by rockauto as they’re way cheaper and you’ll get the better model for the price of the z23’s. Be sure to put in the 1994 year and not your 1.6 car so you get the bigger brakes Then get the calipers from treasure coast Miata ( they’ll be like 25$ each) . I just did that swap on my car and it’s phenomenal. ( I also got steel braided lines which makes the pedal feel so much better ). They fit perfect under my stock 14” daisys, the only thing I had to do was bend back the little brake dust guard on the rear brakes so they could clear it. ( because they’re made for 1.6’s. It takes about 10 minutes then you’re done )
All in all the brakes and calipers were about 500$ plus another 100$ for the steel braided lines which were definitely worth it. I’d just swap it all at once because your brake lines by now are expanded and unhappy.
Also I’d consider upgrading your cars brake fluid from the stock DOT 3 to DOT 4 which has a way higher heat tolerance and is good to drive on the streets. ( I recommend pentosin DOT 4 fluid which is what I run in my daily )
Powerstop z23 or the z26 for the slotted rotors. I run them on all of my cars and we sell them at my automotive shop, great brand
At least for me, I'm using power-stop extreme pads.
Some DBA T2 slotted rotors and Bendix heavy duty or any other quality brand pad will be good.
Repco, whatever model serial for rotors and Bendix pads, then find someone to do it for you.
Replaced it the with Powerstop and no issues at all, been 2 years and still perfect.
I did the tsx upgrade with power stop all around and stainless lines. My element stops on a dime.
Get the raybestos for $81 there isn’t any need to spend any more money than that. The power stop brakes are a joke I have them on my truck now and they are not as good as the brakes I took off also the coating doesn’t stop rust.
