I’ve had a full set of Powerstop Z23’s on my TSX Wagon for 4-yrs. The carbon ceramic pads have really held up well and have virtually no dust to cleanup. Rotor surface is generally rusted from water/dampness but clears immediately after driving. Center hat has zinc coating and is still bright silver color. Car driven year round in SW lower Michigan.
Powerstops are good quality. I used them on my 2017 Civic and they were solid. Strong braking, never any vibration, not bad on brake dust.
I love Powerstop. These are my go-to pads. Their PST89 track pads were dusty but god damn they worked so well and never overheated.
I use this brand of rotors and pads on my Ridgeline and CRV. No complaints, works well.
I have those pads, they’re good. Ditch the rotors, they’ll make the pads wear faster. I went with Brembo blanks.
They work fine, although I’d probably go with plain rotors to increase pad life. The pads are fairly dusty leave some stubborn yellow-brown dust on your wheels.
I’ve used these. They work just fine. Price is good.
I have this set on my 19 accord going on a year and half around 25k miles zero issues with them.
So I just got my powerstop kit installed yesterday. It was $355 from autoparts warehouse and they threw in free shipping. The kit looks pretty good the nickel plating looks very clean but they don't look as agressive as some of the other kits I've seen. The install was not bad at all although I ran into a snag resetting the rear calipers (I didn't do my homework on what tool to reset them with but I eventually got some help). On my first drive I was not impressed with the stopping power of the ceramic pads and the slotted cross drilled rotors (I was thinking it would have this incredible improvement because powerstop claims the pads don't need to be seated to be at peak performance). I beg to differ they were no different than my oem brakes at all yesterday while driving but after having put about 100 miles on them I am starting to see a lot of improvement in my stopping distances without having to mash the pedal. The pads were pretty noisy at first but today are dead quiet (unlike my oem pads). The pedal doesn't feel any different as far as weight but I don't have to press in on it as much to make sudden stops (I thought I was going to see my lunch again today while in Charlotte traffic at one point). Overall I think it isn't a bad upgrade for somebody on a budget like me who wants to have more performance out of your brake system that functions as an everyday driver or could be used on an autox day. I think I'm going to try it this year . I will try to post some pics of the car with the kit installed and keep you guys updated on how the kit feels if there is any changes over the next few weeks or any brake fade.
I got the z23 pads with their drilled slotted rotors. They make a weird clicky noise that's nonstop and gets worse when you brake. It's not loud but audible.
