Currently I have the Power Stop Z23 rotor/brake pad kit, which has worked really well. Originally I had bought some no-name pads/rotors off of Amazon that wore down within 9 months somehow, so I decided to spend more on the Power Stop kit for peace of mind.

I'm running the powerstop Z23 rotors and brake pad kit. Did it early spring last year. Very happy. I hated the initial bite of the stock pads, God forbid I hit a bump while braking. Pricey but happy with the look + performance. Im in the Midwest.
I got some akebono pads for my front brakes after scotty kilmer talked praise about them in a bunch of his videos.
Its been ~8 months and theyre still working great without much brake dust.
Akebono here too, no dust or noise, pedal feels great.
I have been using Akebono pads front and rear for the last few years. They give minimal dusting nothing too crazy. The pads are decent compared to OEM
I've been happy with Power Stop Z23 Evo pads on both of my cars. Not crazy dusty, squeaky, or bitey and a slight improvement over stock.
I have the Dynamics Package on my Scat Pack and installed Z23's about 1k miles ago on all 4 corners.The car is my daily, no track miles. I am happy with them for my application. There is a bit less initial bite but I honestly don't notice it anymore. The brakes will still hit like a brick wall if you try. The brake dust isn't completely gone but it is 100x less than with the stock pads. Nothing else really to report so far, they are quiet and do the job well enough for me.
They stop well and the wheels don't get very dirty with brake dust. After about a year, I started to get occasional mild squeaking under very light slow stopping conditions.
They are a little grabby at extremely low speeds. Otherwise they seem to stop strong and quiet.
