I swapped in a set of Powerstop Z26 pads at around 5k miles and have loved them ever since. 1/4 of the brake dust and I notice no difference in performance which includes spirited driving and avoiding the occasional deer. I actually just replaced my first set of Z26s. They had about 60k miles on them with a little ways to go so they hold up well.
When I had my ST, I did EBC Redstuff pads, and Geomet coated rotors. Low dust, great stopping power, but the pads are a little pricy. I recently moved on to a Golf R, and I wanted to try the Z23 Power Stop pads off Rockauto. I can say they’re pretty much indistinguishable from the Redstuff pads. They have a bed in procedure that you have to go do, otherwise they will feel meh. After bedding them in, they feel amazing!
I put powerstop pads and rotors on my truck about 100k miles ago. Still have those rotors, but have replaced the pads. They lasted as long as I would have expected.
As someone who has put this brand on my car for the last 6 years, they work great, tbh. I have had no issues with them.

I got the powerstop z26 for like $600 for everything. They look way better and perform better than the OEM. There is zero shake when braking at high speeds.
just replaced my pads with z26's and issue went away.
Power stop drilled and slotted front and rear. Love them to death, and I\u2019ve never had an issue getting g squishy or abnormally hot down hill.
I put these on my 08 Mustsng GT. They work really well. Little to no break dust. Just make sure you read the break-in instructions on the box. I had to break mine in when I installed my calipers, rotors and pads from Powerstop
I use Ate pads on mine, they feel great and have lasted fairly well but dust like CRAZY.
I tried PowerStop rotors and pads - I will never use the pads again. They lasted 1/2 the time of any other pad.
