I've been using powerstop track day spec pads for 5 years and aside from crazy brake dust they are the ultimate bang for buck.
I use powerstop z26 extreme pads and rotors. My car stops on a dime
I upgraded to gx460 brakes on mine and did power stop rotors and pads. Very happy with the performance. Mountain driving while fully loaded is worry free now.
The best pads out there right now are the Wagner OEX pads cuz they're built on a galvanized steel backing plate with a mechanical fastening system for the friction material instead of glue. They don't rust out like plain steel pads
I too used Power Stop pads on my BMW and I'm happy with them. Available from Amazon and very reasonably priced.
I have them on my scat pack they work real good limited dust and I couldn’t feel any change in stopping power I did the install myself I wouldn’t want to pay the dealer either
I used powerstops on the front. I wasn’t ready for new pads but I was tired of the squeaking that was coming from the basic pads I had. I switched to powerstops and they stopped squeaking and like someone else said the dusting wasn’t anywhere near as bad.
I just did my 2018 Front pads & rotors at 56k. -As others have done I chose Powerstop Evolution drilled, slotted & Ceramic Pads from Rock Auto
I'm running Powerstop Z23's up front on my 2017, had no problems installing them along with a new set of Stoptech (centric) slotted rotors. The part number for the pads is Z23-1308a, and the part numbers are 126.34156SL and 126.34156SR (slotted rotors have a left and right side).
I've been running powerstop brakes for about 3 years now, and they've been excellent for me. drilled and slotted rotors front and rear with Z23 ceramic pads, stock calipers. they do lack a bit of bite while they're cold driving at low speeds. where they really shine is on the highway and they have a chance to come up to temp. coming down from 100+ mph, they're so smooth and consistent. I think they look great on the car too.
