PowerStop ceramics. I put them on the fronts. Dust was crazy on the OEMs
Unless you do extreme driving (lots of mountains runs, hot laps on track, etc) slotted and or drilled rotors are a waste of money. They will cause much higher pad wear. Spend your money on good pads and buy meh rotors to get best bang for your buck and longevity.
Powerstop z23/z26 are both pretty good, have ran a couple sets.
The z23 pads handle heat better but they’re not that aggressive in terms of needing to warmup. Its still very much a street pad. For me pedal pressure feels stiffer but slightly spongier than stock if that makes sense. Not a bad thing just something to get used to, and you get used to it quickly. I’d recommend them.
Compare pricing, but I agree with other recommendations for Power Stop Z36 for towing. Huge upgrade to stock.
As for a recommendation on brake pads, I like the Powerstop brand pads. They're pretty low dust and perform well and last a long time
Bendix premium pads will be fine paired with better rotors you will get a good performance increase , you can look into other brands etc but again no real point in going to far on pads unless its a track car all your doing is 3x the price for very small gain and sometimes a loss as normal street driving will not put enough heat into the pads to get them to operational temp making it dangerous for normal use, also excess brake dust and annoying squeal
Love my Powerstop Z23’s. Very little dust and great price
Get Powerstop Pads and 2 piece brembo rotors. You’ll come in at less than performance kit and practically no brake dust. From my experience I got the same brake feel as oem, I wouldn’t track it with those pads though.
I used their pads on my mustang and they had good stopping power but they were loud.
The brand Bendix had confused warnings on their brake pad boxes.
