Brake pads Brembo or POWER STOP
PowerStop stuff is good. I have these same Z23 Evo pads on my LS430 front and rear with some Raybestos rotors. (Not drilled or slotted)They are quiet, they dust very minimally compared to the Brembo pads I used to use and last way longer. They don’t quite stop like the Brembo’s, but they’re no slouch either. For long lasting pads that are great for everyday driving, I can recommend them without hesitation.
I got some from brakeperformance for about 350$ including ceramic pads which are 25$ extra, front back rotors and pads, pretty sure I put the back rotors on wrong but oh well, electronic PB is a pain in the ass to put in maintenance mode.But remember we only have 200hp unturned, we don't really need slotted and drilled brakes but man does the car stop fast so that's a plus
I have these on my 06 Ram ($432) and I just made 3 years in August with these. I saw major improvement on my braking and no warpage at all. I used to go through brakes and rotors like crazy just because the ram is such a heavy vehicle to stop (my driving doesn't help). I will not use any other brand now. Just make sure that you bed them as instructed.
Im coming up on 2 years with this brand on my TL, they’re legit.
Nah these are solid and I would say probably one of the best non big brake kits you could possibly get performance wise that's just my opinion though. I run their Carbon weave track pads, the braided steel brake lines, front and rear calipers, and drilled/slotted rotors got the entire front/rear kit w calipers for about 700 and the lines were about 150 I think. I've had them for 3 years now and they've been amazing I've done one set of pad changes so far and I'm going to be doing pads again and replacing the rotors next summer I've not had one problem with the parking brake sticking or the calipers siezing. Rotors haven't cracked or warped or anything and still have a smooth feel to them braking no Hotspots. The rotors themselves also held up amazing rust wise. This is on a 2007 civic Si. I also have not had one instance of brake fade and the bite is MUCH better than OEM.
Have this on my Beamer, they work pretty good. Can’t complain for the price. They fade a little quick in comparison, but that’s when you are stopping from a buck or so. Honestly not bad just don’t get them too hot.
These cheap drilled / slotted rotor and pads set can be strangely good at times. I got a set for my dad's 2003 Santa Fe in 2016, and they're still going strong and smooth after 50k miles.
I have the exact same setup on my 91 miata. Same bundle with pads and all. I paid around that price and I've had them on for 2 months and love them. Huge difference over my stock setup. Replaced calipers at the same time and everything is smooth with no weird noises.
To save you money, they probably did not need to change right rear caliper if only your left one was seized. They also could’ve given you options for prices on brakes and rotors as it appears they quoted you for dealer quality brake pads.
If that quote is just for pads, it's not a ripoff. it's criminal!!! Do yourself a favor and buy powerstop, install them yourself, and save a fortune. Scat brakes are ridiculously easy to work on.
