Reviews of POWER STOP brake pads

I'm currently running Z23 pads with DBA rotors (slotted, so the wear on the pads should be similar to the Z26 rotors). The PowerStop pads have less initial bite, but I personally feel like they brake harder at max brake pressure than OEM pads. It takes a bit to get used to, but it feels fine long term.

I got PowerStop Z26 pads and steel braided brake lines to go with my brembos and they’re great. They’re quiet and leave very little brake dust.

I just did my brakes for the first time. Way easier than I expected. I think I spent $700 on front and back Powerstop Z36 pads and rotors.

I had Z26s on my first TSX. Those things made my stock brakes feel like a joke. They also look cool on the car too. I'm planning to get them again for my current tsx when it's time to replace my pads.

I ran powerstops on my P71 when I did them and have run them on most of my vehicles since, they\u2019re great brakes for the money just make sure you follow the bedding-in instructions.

I upgraded mine with powerstop z26 pads up front with their slotted and drilled rotors, and z23 in the rear with slotted and drilled there too and stops on a dime and I dont ever detect any brake fade and I drive fast in steep winding roads and up Mt roads with it

PowerStop ceramics. I put them on the fronts. Dust was crazy on the OEMs

Unless you do extreme driving (lots of mountains runs, hot laps on track, etc) slotted and or drilled rotors are a waste of money. They will cause much higher pad wear. Spend your money on good pads and buy meh rotors to get best bang for your buck and longevity.

Powerstop z23/z26 are both pretty good, have ran a couple sets.

The Power Stop pads do have the end clips but they are moving in the calipers a little. After following the break in instructions that include hard braking the metal sound pad on the outside of the pad slid up and wrecked it somewhat.

The z23 pads handle heat better but they’re not that aggressive in terms of needing to warmup. Its still very much a street pad. For me pedal pressure feels stiffer but slightly spongier than stock if that makes sense. Not a bad thing just something to get used to, and you get used to it quickly. I’d recommend them.
