Brake pads EBC or POWER STOP

I found PowerStop quite good for aftermarket pads. Their Z17 ceramic will be a reasonable OEM-like, low-dust, long-life alternative to your Elantra.

I just bought and installed the power stop z26 street warrior front and rear pads and rotors kit from rock auto for about 460 after taxes and shipping.

Installed smoothly, followed the steps and cleaned the bracket and whatever the rotor mounts to with a wire brush and brake cleaner. Having no issues whatsoever.

Almost 20k miles and still brakes super smooth.

For what it's worth, I had the shudder too, it was pad deposits on the rotors. New EBC pads, some hard braking, and it went away.

For pads I'm going powerstop z26, good reviews on these and least dusty of the performance ceramic pad options from what people are saying. For rotors I'm going advics high carbon blanks. I've used slotted, drilled/dimples and rotors with both and I've always had cracking or warping issues over time. While they don't look as cool all I care is longevity for a daily driver and I don't planing to track my IS lol.

I just put red stuff on my Stinger GT2 and love them . I also put geo series drilled and slotted rotors. What I will share with you is I had to pull the metal plates off my break pads so that they could fit but other than that their great.

I've been daily driving my SR11 for a year, and almost 10k miles in my Type R. Never had these issues, not even close. As someone else said, I have immediate bite even in zero degree temps. Have tracked them a few times with no issues either. I bought another set for when these eventually wear out, although that is taking a while.

I have Powerstop pads on my MJ, possibly rotors too, can’t remember for sure though, and they don’t squeak at all. I also run Powerstop pads on my personal truck as well as company trucks and they seem to do very well. Much better than OEM Ram pads, that’s for sure.

I'm at just about 25,000 miles and the brakes are starting to feel a little worn out. I'm thinking of upgrading the pads (rotors aren't in the budget right now) and was looking at the EBC Redstuff ones. Probably shoulda gone with the power stops but since it’s a small upgrade I figured the extra money is worth it.

I'm going to shit on EBC HH. They're popular, easy to get, and somewhat better than OEM. But they suck ass. Every time I need more brake power they fade. Every time I want the brakes to bite they just shrug and I feel like I need to clamp down. Progressive riding? Sure. Emergency braking? Hell naw. Need to cut speed for sharp corners? Good luck. So I've switched to Vesrah and never looked back.
