The OEM pads do not dust like some aftermarket do. I replaced my fronts with OEM, and a couple years later replaced the back with Powerstop from RockAuto - the front dusts significantly less.
Powerstop is great i got z23/26, the change in brake dust is night and day. Dirty in 1 week oem vs 2 months.
Depends what you're after. If just street with some spirited driving, smething like pmu hc+ or ns400 works. I do track work and used to run hc800s, but got hc+ thinking they are the same. Only 600c rated instead. But, good cold performance, and extra good performance hot. So, they don't wear out super quickly while daily driving. Got quite a lot of track days and driving out of my original hc800s with t3 rotors. But, they are harder to find. Need to get the shape from pmus website, and then find somebody that stocks them. Rhd japan may do
I used PowerStop when I did mine about 6 months ago. Nothing fancy (no slotted or anything crazy). A decent rear set (rotors/pads) is probably around 100 USD
I really liked Project Mu Club Racers as a "streetable-ish" track pad. They were fairly tolerable on the street as long as they were bedded in. They occasionally squeal when coming to a stop once below 15mph.
I've put either the z23 evolution or the z26 street warrior on many vehicles. Awesome improvement in stopping power across the board.
Powerstop on my Durango RT. Never an issue and been great for years.
I've ended up with Power Stop on 3 Fords (Fusion, Escape, and Focus) and an Infiniti (Q50 3.0t AWD) and have been happy. Plus it's easy to just buy one kit and everything shows up together. I tend not to use their grease (I have a big tube of sil-glyde in the toolbox) and their retention springs for the rear calipers on the Escape didn't fit (this is not uncommon with other brands I've had on it as well). I've also had very good results with AKebono and used to swear by Wagner ThermoQuiet pads until I had trouble getting them a couple years ago and got the Power Stop parts.
I switched to the Powerstop pads and rotors for the front. I haven\u2019t noticed much difference.
I can wear through an entire set in one day in a gen 1 brz. They did manage to stop the car more or less okay, but they wear like butter.
