Brake pads Akebono or POWER STOP
Check out Powerstop for your brakes. I use them and they are amazing! Excellent price too
Get some powerstop z23's. You wont regret it.
Akebono makes very good pads.
Akebono pads are great.
I'm running Z26 Pads front & rear on my '20 with DBA T3 Rotors. Performance is excellent. I don't get the squeal others have reported with the Z26 pads. I had originally installed the DBA XP Pads but they were too dusty for my liking.
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.
My experience with PowerStop (on my old Mazda 3) is that they tend to have more bite but, wear out quicker and have more brake dust than OEM. That being said, they were quiet and held up fine until they were fully worn down.
the pads are noisy and clunk … probably wouldn’t buy them again, kinda frustrating because I’ve read great reviews about them.
