Put them on my Mercedes back in September. Absolutely no complaints. Plus way less brake dust.
I redid all four on my 2014 A4 allroad. There was. Virtually no brake dust and no squeak or squeal with excellent stopping power.
Ya I had them on my a3 and it was dramatic difference than oem. Only down side is slotted and drilled make noise when you brake hard with them.
Replaced the pads on my Audi A4 with powerstop, and they're a big upgrade. Significantly less brake dust from the OEM too.
I have used the power stop Z36 pads with drilled and slotted rotors on the last 3 trucks I’ve had. I love them. I tow a 8-12k pound dump trailer pretty regularly and have never had an issue. Even with the added weight, they still outlast and outperform OE style by a long shot.
Z26 power stops with oem 1.8 brackets / calipers. They’re carbon ceramic brakes, they produce almost no brake dust, they don’t squeak at all and they brake REALLY good for street driving. ( get the power stops by rockauto as they’re way cheaper and you’ll get the better model for the price of the z23’s. Be sure to put in the 1994 year and not your 1.6 car so you get the bigger brakes Then get the calipers from treasure coast Miata ( they’ll be like 25$ each) . I just did that swap on my car and it’s phenomenal. ( I also got steel braided lines which makes the pedal feel so much better ). They fit perfect under my stock 14” daisys, the only thing I had to do was bend back the little brake dust guard on the rear brakes so they could clear it. ( because they’re made for 1.6’s. It takes about 10 minutes then you’re done )
All in all the brakes and calipers were about 500$ plus another 100$ for the steel braided lines which were definitely worth it. I’d just swap it all at once because your brake lines by now are expanded and unhappy.
Also I’d consider upgrading your cars brake fluid from the stock DOT 3 to DOT 4 which has a way higher heat tolerance and is good to drive on the streets. ( I recommend pentosin DOT 4 fluid which is what I run in my daily )
Powerstop z23 or the z26 for the slotted rotors. I run them on all of my cars and we sell them at my automotive shop, great brand
At least for me, I'm using power-stop extreme pads.
Replaced it the with Powerstop and no issues at all, been 2 years and still perfect.
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.
