I went with the powerstop z26, i think, carbon ceramic pads and drilled and slotted rotors all around for about 550 dollars from autozone. Fit and finish were perfect and did all four corners in my driveway in a couple of hours. The brake in procedure is very simple and they work very well. Zero brake vibrations and feels so much better.
I did the entire powerstop front and rear kit, has worked great, 0 issues in roughly 20k miles.
i have had powerstop on my car for the last year and a bit, no complaints, brakes are still good for dailying but with more bite when you jam down on the pedal
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.
I use the HD Powerstop with vented rotors, front and rear. I tow a trailer. They exceed the life of OEM pads. And stop well.
Ford brake pads have consistently sucked ass, they stained up the wheels on my focus st and just destroy rotors and make a huge mess in general. I switched to power stop ceramics and slotted rotors, and they have lasted years on with no visible signs of wear on the rotors, and a pad slap on the rear set once.
I took it out on a twisty road for about 40 miles, and did some hard stops. Seems to have resolved the issue. I read somewhere that these brakes need time for bed settling. I will say, they do stop impressively well. The factory stuff was underwhelming.
I did Power Stops because when I got them we're slightly cheaper with a rebate. Haven't had any problems with them.
'22 3.3t SP, with the brembos, bought the F&R Kit, been loving the brakes now. Definitely better than stock after the pads have warmed up.
At 34k miles I have replaced my front brake pads with “Power Stop Z23-2275 Evolution Sport” and it is ten times better than the factory original brakes. If you own a Turbo engine, do yourself a good and replace front pads (at least) asap.
