i had this same work done on mine after i brought her home last year. cost about the same (im in a HCOL area). did the air filters myself, saved a few bucks. but everything else: brakes, spark plugs, etc... 08's are a .1, if its yours, might as well add in a borescopes through the plugs for piece of mind!
No complaints on bite/fade or fitment.
I have power stops on my 17. I’ve had them on there for probably like 75k miles. Cars at like 150k. Oddly enough, it’s my back pads that are closest to needing to be replaced, even though I put them on like 5k miles after my fronts. No pulsing, shaking, etc. they’ve been great. I figured the drilled/slotted for keeping cool on the track might make them less likely to get messed up in puddles and thus far they haven’t disappointed.
I put a set of PowerStop Z36 on my 2008 Silverado 1500 w/ rear drums and the improvement in brake performance was substantial.
Centric rotors and Powerstop brake pads, I have the Z23s. They stop well and very little dust.
Power stop z17 all the way. Very good quality pad. Never really knew that pad quality mattered until I had a couple cars with squeaky brakes only to find out that installing the power stop pads resolved the squeak. They’re always good about coming with hardware.
I've used Power Stop Z17 and Z23 on many many vehicles with no issues. No noise, low dust, excellent bite.
I did all 4 Brembo rotors + Z23 Powerstop ceramic pads for ~$400 from Rockauto on my F15 35i last year. The Z23 pads are a favorite amongst the X5M crowd I’ve been loving them for over a year now - don’t usually buy Powerstop but these are great. All around great setup
Read lots of reviews for power stops but also that they started restickering different pads.
Macan GTS’ are going through hell right now with PSCB brakes. Plenty of tickets just saying to replace the pads and rotors and customer to monitor lmao.
