Brake pads POWER STOP or WILWOOD
I just went to rockauto got 4 brembo rotors and 4 powerstop z26 pads, plus 2 sensors with the dealership installing it for about $1500.
Power stop brakes z36 towing brakes. Stops my fully armored truck with drawers pretty well
Really, stock everything is fine for your needs, second the advice on slotted/drilled. If you insist, Rockauto sells power stop upgrade pads that are good also.
Bought my power stop Z26 from them - amazing and quality
Powerstop brakes are great. I had them on my Stealth and two other of my vehicles.
I’ve got over 40,000 miles on my Powerstop drilled/slotted rotors and their pads. This is the second vehicle I’ve used them on. They improve stopping distance, almost no brake dust and they wear really well.
I replaced my front brakes with PowerStop products. Very happy with them after about 20,000 miles. No issues.
I really liked the power stop line on my drag car, so I did them on my wife's car to replace the Brembo pads and rotors and used them on my GC and have been very happy with their performance. used to throw the old car around the dragon in the NC mountains with a lot of quick heavy braking and never had fade. I have had them on both daily drivers for 6 years now.
I put a full set of power stop ceramic pads and their drilled rotors 40k miles ago, and they are still great as well.
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.
