Go with powerstop for sure. I bought their complete front and rear kit with drilled slotted rotors, bigger bore calipers, z23 performance padsand braided steel lines. Cost me about 800 dollars but if you want just the fronts that's an insanely good price for the front kit even if it doesn't include calipers.Powerstop is the only brand I see in your picture lineup that actually is performance driven.For the record as well I bought the kit 3 years ago and it's been solid I just replaced front and rear pads a couple months ago for the first time and the pads were perfectly even. Haven't had one issue in about 35k miles of driving.
Just changed mine at 65k for first time. Went with powerstops non slotted and happy so far. I loved my oem brakes and the amount of life I got out of them.
Been running powerstop for years on my daily no issues and if anything pads last alot longer
For brakes though, I've used Powerstop Z17 and they're solid parts.
I've used Powerstop on various other vehicles and have been pretty happy with them. I wouldn't recommend using them on something like an RS, but I'd put them on another daily driver without hesitation.
I put the pads/rotors on the front and just the pads on the rear of my 1st gen, and they are great. I would recommend them and say they're not overkill. Plenty of info online about the oem setup leaving something to be desired. I don't have to apply half the pressure I used to in order to get the same stopping power.
I run Z36s on my 2001. They are fantastic, and have served me well towing and off roading. You probably don't *need* drilled and slotted rotors, but if you're doing it yourself you're already saving money. It's an upgrade from stock for sure.
2013 Elantra with 145k miles. Replaced the Brake pads and a couple spark plugs. But it’s been an amazing purchase.
Update: I bought the Powerstop z26’s (I thought I bought the z23’s) but they so far work great!
I’ve used the powers too kits with success in the past but now I just run duralast gold ceramic pads and gold rotors. Haven’t have any issues towing with them in 3 years
