New power stop ceramic z17 front brake pads
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!
I'm waiting for EBC brakes to come out with yellowstuff pads for the CX70/90; then I will get those!
A friend had a Cadillac ATS-V and putting EBC pads on it was a whole different thing, even on the Brembo 6 pot calipers.
The OE Brembo pads are "okay" and the EBC Blue Stuff will give you better bite though they're still dusty. I went with 2-piece rotors and Endless MX72+ pads.
My suggestions : Oil cooler, change break pads with ceramics (EBC redstuff), gallery gasket, replace half the exhaust line (the genuine rear silencer is a crime and heavy), rear tyres 285/35R19. Those things will make the car better, more reliable, safer (this car is 1.6t dry, you could be surprised with default brake attack) and widespread among Z lovers.
Now I’m a much happier camper with my EBC Yellowstuff’s.
Did power stop pads and rotors on an 18 GT and it makes the same noise. Even tried bedding new pads, still does it.
EBC is known as the Exploding Brake Company and they still live up to that name...
Installed new Centric High-Carbon rotors + PowerStop Z23 Evolution Carbon-fiber Ceramic pads on front only. I'm getting significant brake judder. Steering and vehicle body shakes, but the brake pedal does not pulsate. No pulling to either side. Really bad when stopping from 80 MPH+.
