Ran this set for the last 3 years, about 20,000 miles. They look and work great with factory calipers (I painted mine while I was installing).
I’ve been really liking my powerstops. $375 for rotors and carbon fiber ceramic pads. Easy install and they’re super quiet. Have yet to really drive them hard but for daily/spirited driving I’m super happy with them.
Hawk Street 5.0 have been better at stopping than stock, lasted over 25k miles with about 60% left, and have dramatically less dusting than stock.
I run stop tech rotors/hawk HP plus pads/motul high temp/and goodrich SS lines on my m coupe and that’s also a great, much less expensive set up.
PowerStop Z23 pads are excellent with little to no dust and great bite.
Power stop is a great upgrade, I use the z23 pads.
refresh brakes with Hawk HPS 5.0 and restore look of the calipers
I replaced my OEMs with Hawk HPS 5.0s. Very similar feel to the stock pads without that initial hard bite. Less dust as well.
I think it's a thing with German cars. The rotors warp too easily. The thing that bugs me the most about German cars are the brake pads. They so freaking dusty!
I tried PowerStop rotors and pads - I will never use the pads again. They lasted 1/2 the time of any other pad.
