I use and recommend the Z23 Evolution Sport Pads. They refer to it as Carbon Fiber Ceramic. It is incredible. It really last a long time. Has great stopping power and it produces very little brake dust.
Their brakes are quiet and last a long time compared to my previous experiences. Pads going on two years. No noise, no squeaks, no rattles. very minimal brake dust.
I self installed Z23 Powerstop Evolution Sport slotted rotors & carbon fiber ceramic pads kits front and rear from Rock Auto. Superior to OEM in every aspect. Better longevity, quieter, with greatly improved braking.
I replaced the front rotors and pads on my 2020 V60 with a Z23 Powerstop kit I bought from Rockauto. I opted for the standard rotors instead of slotted and drilled. It’s been just over 2 weeks and they are very smooth.
Powerstop Z-23 Carbon Ceramic.. I used these on my C63 and they were far superior to stock in performance without any dust.
I swapped to Z26 pads a few months ago. I got sick and tired of the insane amount of dust from the stock brake pads. The Z26 pads offer enough street performance for sure. The amount they dust is a SIGNIFICANT amount less. I have taken the Z26 Pads to the Tail of the Dragon and I have not had issues. I also don't drive the car anywhere near the limits so if you plan on tracking it, the stock pads are probably better.
I swapped in a set of Powerstop Z26 pads at around 5k miles and have loved them ever since. 1/4 of the brake dust and I notice no difference in performance which includes spirited driving and avoiding the occasional deer. I actually just replaced my first set of Z26s. They had about 60k miles on them with a little ways to go so they hold up well.

This was my only complaint with my car when it was new. I can't wrap my head around how they thought that amount of brake dust was acceptable.
I swapped in Powerstop pads and have been happy ever since.
I have them and haven't seen any improvement in braking. They're also very noisy.
