Brake pads Brembo or POWER STOP
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.
I’ve used kits like this before and that one is spot on. I have Brembo discs and pads on my car now, and do notice a bit more bite from the pedal this time, which is amwbag I was looking for. The downside is the brakes need a bit more heat in them before they’re effective, which is not the case with the Sebro/Textar setup.
Project Mu Club racers front and rear will cost the same as just the XP10 fronts. Then use powerstop Z16 for the street, super low dust. Same rotors for both.
I run power stop on my IS250 for the past 5 years. They somehow still look brand new over the past 50k miles so they really do last.
I put Powerstops (drilled/slotted) on my Sequoia and couldn’t be happier. And I’ve done a LOT brakes, typically using OEM, but research showed I could do better on the heavy Sequoia especially. ’ll be putting them on my GX and 4Runner next time they need brakes!
Happy to report the upgrade seems to be worth the effort. The brakes seemed very smooth and responded well on all the downhill coming through the mountains. No noticeable noise, overheating or warping of any kind. Just smooth consistent brake and pedal feel for the entire trip out and back.
I got my PowerStop Z26 Street Warrior pads through them about 2 years ago and they're working fine.
No complaints on bite/fade or fitment.
I had Brembo rotors and ceramic pads front and rear on my 2017 V60 T5. Rotors were fine, the pads wore out ridiculously fast. Switched to Akebono pads and was much happier. They lasted literally twice as long.
Brembo may have great stopping power but if this is the shelf life of their products definitely regret optioning them.
