Powerstop track kit with ceramic pads. They have solid and Drilled/slotted rotors available both options. Around $300 for both front and rear. I run these on multiple cars when it’s time for brakes always an upgrade over stock.
Ive seen people go the full spectrum of pads, from cheapos to expensive. I’d go oem at a minimum, remember these are big heavy trucks that need a lot of stopping power. I’ve had a lot of luck with powerstop so far.
I use Powerstop Drilled and slotted. Been the best for not developing a squeak and glaze.
I recently-ish replaced my pads and rotors with the Powerstop Z26 stuff. Works fine, and makes a lot less dust. Can't say I've noticed a huge difference in braking force.
Ran this set for the last 3 years, about 20,000 miles. They look and work great with factory calipers (I painted mine while I was installing).
I’ve been really liking my powerstops. $375 for rotors and carbon fiber ceramic pads. Easy install and they’re super quiet. Have yet to really drive them hard but for daily/spirited driving I’m super happy with them.
PowerStop Z23 pads are excellent with little to no dust and great bite.
Power stop is a great upgrade, I use the z23 pads.
They’ve been performing great, it can stop much faster. Went with Power Stop Z23 pads.
So I just got my powerstop kit installed yesterday. It was $355 from autoparts warehouse and they threw in free shipping. The kit looks pretty good the nickel plating looks very clean but they don't look as agressive as some of the other kits I've seen. The install was not bad at all although I ran into a snag resetting the rear calipers (I didn't do my homework on what tool to reset them with but I eventually got some help). On my first drive I was not impressed with the stopping power of the ceramic pads and the slotted cross drilled rotors (I was thinking it would have this incredible improvement because powerstop claims the pads don't need to be seated to be at peak performance). I beg to differ they were no different than my oem brakes at all yesterday while driving but after having put about 100 miles on them I am starting to see a lot of improvement in my stopping distances without having to mash the pedal. The pads were pretty noisy at first but today are dead quiet (unlike my oem pads). The pedal doesn't feel any different as far as weight but I don't have to press in on it as much to make sudden stops (I thought I was going to see my lunch again today while in Charlotte traffic at one point). Overall I think it isn't a bad upgrade for somebody on a budget like me who wants to have more performance out of your brake system that functions as an everyday driver or could be used on an autox day. I think I'm going to try it this year . I will try to post some pics of the car with the kit installed and keep you guys updated on how the kit feels if there is any changes over the next few weeks or any brake fade.
