Owner reviews for brake pads

Have power stop for my Q and no issues. It’s my commuter as well

I have Powerstop with carbon ceramic pads. I absolutely love them and they’re much better than my stock brakes. Whatever brakes you do get make sure you break them in.

I’ve two cars, a V6 sedan and a Mazda exactly like this. I depended mostly on my Mazda, which I’ve had for 3 years with an automatic transmission. I absolutely love it- it has never let me down. It always starts and goes, and I’ve even left it idling for hours many days with no issues. Apart from brake pads and regular oil changes, I haven’t had to do anything to it.

Avg cost for me has been around 2.5k-3.5k for normal services (oil changes, washers etc.) else big services have been around 5k which includes brake pads, spark plugs etc.

I have an ST but I got the carbon fiber powerstop ceramic pads and get zero brake dust on the wheels

I get my pads and rotors from break performance. I run slotted and dimpled on most of my vehicles with their semi metallic brakes. Pads don't last super long but I've been more then happy with them on my RS and my F250.

I would look at pads. Akebono which are a low dust pad act like what you are experiancing. Not a lot of inital bite. Which I like.

2001 740i never had any issues with the throttle response but the brakes could be better. Too spongy and not as responsive as my 99 540i was.

the pads are noisy and clunk … probably wouldn’t buy them again, kinda frustrating because I’ve read great reviews about them.

I just got the blazer ev, and within a month the brakes (pedal, not actual brakes) start making noise every time I pushed on them and the wind noise increased.
