Brake pads POWER STOP or Mintex
I replaced my front brakes with PowerStop products. Very happy with them after about 20,000 miles. No issues.
I really liked the power stop line on my drag car, so I did them on my wife's car to replace the Brembo pads and rotors and used them on my GC and have been very happy with their performance. used to throw the old car around the dragon in the NC mountains with a lot of quick heavy braking and never had fade. I have had them on both daily drivers for 6 years now.
I put a full set of power stop ceramic pads and their drilled rotors 40k miles ago, and they are still great as well.
I would rather save a bit and get similar performance and get the Power Stop Z26 carbon infused ceramic pads. If you don't track your car no need for anything higher end as you won't get anywhere near the temps for these to fade.
I did a similar Brand: Power Stop Z26 Streets and I think they’re fine. Anything will be better than the OEM padding/Rotor. Didn’t even flush brake fluid, they did take a few drives before fully losing the squeak/grind sound when approaching full stop even after doing required bedding process. I’m at 72k miles on 2019 3.3t
I have Power Stop Z23 Ceramic/Carbon Fiber pads, they are quiet and no dust. This is for my daily driven car, no track action.
I've got PowerStop stuff and man it is powerful. It is noisy for the first stop after a rain to burn the rust off the rotors, but that's it.
I just put them on my 2013 silverado my old rotors were vibrating hard at high speed braking and the powerstop drilled/slotted rotors and pads are completely smooth when braking at higher speed
While I am not overly impressed with the stopping power for the price, I am impressed with how much less they wear after a track day.
when i bought my girling 60 setup the seller threw in a set of mintex red box pads.....i hate them. i was never impressed with the red box's in other cars but on my setup they squealed like crazy when i was off the brakes. i too had the issue with the pads overhanging into the center of the rotor but i took a rolox disc on a die grinder and took a little off the inner portion of the pads. even after doing that they still squeal. plus theyre a real dirty pad and after about 10k miles i only have about 50% pad life left.
