I put the pads/rotors on the front and just the pads on the rear of my 1st gen, and they are great. I would recommend them and say they're not overkill. Plenty of info online about the oem setup leaving something to be desired. I don't have to apply half the pressure I used to in order to get the same stopping power.
I run Z36s on my 2001. They are fantastic, and have served me well towing and off roading. You probably don't *need* drilled and slotted rotors, but if you're doing it yourself you're already saving money. It's an upgrade from stock for sure.
Update: I bought the Powerstop z26’s (I thought I bought the z23’s) but they so far work great!
I’ve used the powers too kits with success in the past but now I just run duralast gold ceramic pads and gold rotors. Haven’t have any issues towing with them in 3 years
I got a kit from Powerstop with drilled/ slotted rotors and ceramic pads. Huge boost in braking power.
I am using POWERSTOP brake pads and drilled and slotted rotors. They work just fine!
I'm at 71k on the original pads for my 2021 Model 3. I dont seem to go through pads quite as fast as some people.
Still on the originals at 110K miles on my 2016 Model S, plenty of wear left.
my 2015 Model S is still on the original brake pads, never had an issue, and I'm at like 125k miles.
Several teslas, both S and 3, and never had to replace them. I got used to one pedal driving. My 3 has almost 60k and brakes are almost new.
