Rating 5.0

I also swapped out the pads and rotors with Powerstop Z36 Truck and Tow carbon fiber ceramic pads and drilled and slotted rotors. They turned out to be fantastic, especially with towing in the mountains and the Nebraska Sandhills. Highly recommend!

Pros: fantastic, towing in mountains

Brembo Brake pads

I personally like the Brembo SR they work both cold/wet and hot, they're noticeably better than the SA pads they have.

Pros: work cold, wet, and hot

Brembo Brake pads

The M-Sport brakes are more than a pretty face. There is so much stopping power. A car this size has no business being able to decelerate this fast, yet anytime you push the pedal, there’s always more to be had. I don’t think I’ve driven a car of any size that can compare to the kung-fu grip that those Brembos have. Paired with the 22’ wheels, ABS is almost irrelevant because there’s no locking, just stopping.

Pros: so much stopping power, fast deceleration

Rating 4.0

I picked up some Power Stop pads (Z23915B and Z231095) back in 2016 and they are still going strong. I wouldnt say they are "low dust", but they do seem less than OEM. They seemed to be a bit more bite than my OEMs.

Pros: more bite than OEM
Cons: not low dust
Part number: Z23915B AND Z231095

POWER STOP Brake pads

I have used powerstops basic kit on Amazon for years now and had no problems. They say they're a "street upgrade" but they're just good quality pads and rotors.

Pros: good quality, no problems
