Brake pads Akebono or POWER STOP

POWER STOP Brake pads

For pads I'm going powerstop z26, good reviews on these and least dusty of the performance ceramic pad options from what people are saying. For rotors I'm going advics high carbon blanks. I've used slotted, drilled/dimples and rotors with both and I've always had cracking or warping issues over time. While they don't look as cool all I care is longevity for a daily driver and I don't planing to track my IS lol.

Pros: good reviews, least dusty
Cons: cracking, warping issues
Vehicle: Lexus IS
Mileage: 44000 km

I have Powerstop pads on my MJ, possibly rotors too, can’t remember for sure though, and they don’t squeak at all. I also run Powerstop pads on my personal truck as well as company trucks and they seem to do very well. Much better than OEM Ram pads, that’s for sure.

Pros: don't squeak, much better

I bought stock front rotors from a local dealer. Shopped around to find a dealer with the lowest price (low $90/ea range as I recall). I purchased Akebono Performance ceramic pads on Amazon: They are showing as “currently unavailable.” Maybe you can find them somewhere else. Brake pulsing is now gone, car stops very well, and I have less brake dust than with stock pads.

Pros: good stopping, less dust
Cons: pulsing gone

POWER STOP Brake pads

Powerstop brakes were good on my 2016 GT, and my Duramax truck. They only lasted 1 year on my Q50. StopTech slotted rotors were a pretty nice upgrade over stock and over the Powerstop brakes. They had zero brake fade and lasted longer than anything else I’ve ever ran.

Pros: zero brake fade, long lasting
Cons: short lifespan

POWER STOP Brake pads

changed front pads to powerstop z26 pads. "Broke" them in doing recommended stopping intervals. Now 2 days later going over 60 the car shakes really bad seemingly from the passenger side.

Cons: car shakes badly
Vehicle: Kia
