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.
No. Looks perfectly normal.
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.
I have a 2021 District Green Q5e / tan interior and it has been a fantastic car for my use case. 55% City driving means little to no gas use with home charging. Lots of road trips too, it’s a fast highway cruiser. 50k miles so far.
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
Brakes will last forever since I use so much regen.
I've got Power Stop track day spec pads. They're a little noisy when cold and make a lot of dust but they still stop hard when cold and even better when they have some heat in them.
I have the powerstop z23 pads and man, they're so damn noisy. Anyone else experiencing the same? Trying to figure out if the shims need to be greased or the shop didn't put them on right ????
