Brake pads Akebono or POWER STOP

Powerstops, they don't have the performance capablities of the OE pads (which are actually Ferodo 2500 compound), nor their semi-trackworthiness, but there is absolutely nothing you can do on street to exceed their capabilites. Plus, no nasty brake dust

Swapped powerstop pads on to the fronts. Stopped the squeal, improved braking and now I have absolutely zero brake dust that used to be horrible with the original pads. The pads weren’t expensive, definitely worth it.

NO MORE BRAKE DUST! No squeaking or squealing, they actually seem to stop better.

I always use Akebono PROAct pads, and cheapest Centric rotors (changed with pads every time) I stop GREAT.

I’ve used powerstop in the past no squeaks.

I put Powerstop Z23 pads on my 2022 3 a few months back. No issues at all.

Power stop z23 pads been working well for me, seems like much less brake dust that oem

I put Powerstop Z23s on the front of my '20 and I'm very happy with them. A little noisy on cold mornings for the first couple applications but that goes away when they warm up a tiny bit.

Akebono isn't bad, but I usually go with oem brake pads if available.

It’s the pads. I paid my dealer to change my pads out to Akebono because the dust and noise was so bad. I get that it’s a performance car but good lord it was miserable for a daily driver.
