Brake pads Brembo or POWER STOP

The Brembo brakes are good, almost surprisingly so.

I would pick power stop at about $150 give or take - you are there with the labor time - put in the new parts

Powerstop Z23 works just fine. Z26 if you want low dust.

I got 85000 mi from the original ceramic pads then replaced the rotors and pads (with Brembo).

I went with a set of Powerstop brakes rear and front and ordered OEM brembos which should completely solve the shutter also improving stability when braking. Will update this

I ran the Ford Severe Duty pads, and now the Power Stop Z36. The Severe Duty pads performed great but had a LOT of brake dust. They are semi metallic so should be higher performance at the cost of brake dust and pad/rotor life. The Power Stop pads feel like they perform just as good (towing) and have almost no brake dust, and seem to be long lasting so I'd recommend them.

If you can double your budget you can get some Dynamic Friction or PowerStops from Jegs or Summit Racing. I'd trust those over some no name brand at Walmart

Recent maintenance includes upgraded Power Stop K5866 front and rear carbon fiber brake pads with drilled and slotted rotors for improved stopping power.

I’ve got the brembos and sometimes the squeak when cold but they don’t make any other sounds

I and most would recommend against getting the stock Brembo pads. They are far too soft and when they heat up, excess material sticks to the rotor causing the shaking under braking eventually.
