I just installed powerstop ceramic pads and blank rotors. Similar stopping power to oem but way less brake dust.
Bought top of the line brake pads Front and rear for 115 dollars a you tube video and a 7 dollar spanner got me through the job. Didn't need rotors I've learned shops automatically want to change those.
I used a decent set of coated Raybestos rotors and a set of the most expensive PowerStop pads front and rear on my last brake job on my LS 430 — came from RockAuto. The rotors haven’t warped, the pads are wearing nicely and are no where near as filthy as the Brembo’s I had been using and I can’t tell the difference between this setup and the Lexus parts. No squeaks either!
Go to an independent BMW shop. PowerStop Z23 pads are a super budget friendly option. I've run them on all 3 of my street MINIs. Very quiet and low dusting but good performance.
I switched to the Powerstop pads about a month after I bought it and haven’t had any issues with stopping at all, not even a close call (knocks on wood). They still produce dust but I don’t see it accumulating nearly as fast as the OEM Brembos.
I have front and rear power stop pads and rotors on my scat, and oem brembos on my rt both 4 piston calipers and the difference is not noticeable. I beat these brakes down and have never had an issue
My powerstop have no stopping issues in my scat
I had EBC pads and I don’t think they are worth the premium price in comparison to the powerstop. I actually went back to powerstop. I’ve also had the stop tech rotors and once again I don’t feel much difference between the two. I don’t track my car so they may be something different but for everyday driving and safety I trust the powerstop. I had ebc on my Audi as well but now I even use powerstop on it because I didnt feel the ebc were worth the premium for everyday driving. On my scat I currently have demon performance rotors and use powerstop pads.
Read lots of reviews for power stops but also that they started restickering different pads.
Powerstop = power junk with fancy colors. In no way are powerstop parts better quality than an OEM part.
