Brake pads EBC or POWER STOP

Powerstop Z-23 Carbon Ceramic.. I used these on my C63 and they were far superior to stock in performance without any dust.

I swapped to Z26 pads a few months ago. I got sick and tired of the insane amount of dust from the stock brake pads. The Z26 pads offer enough street performance for sure. The amount they dust is a SIGNIFICANT amount less. I have taken the Z26 Pads to the Tail of the Dragon and I have not had issues. I also don't drive the car anywhere near the limits so if you plan on tracking it, the stock pads are probably better.

I swapped in a set of Powerstop Z26 pads at around 5k miles and have loved them ever since. 1/4 of the brake dust and I notice no difference in performance which includes spirited driving and avoiding the occasional deer. I actually just replaced my first set of Z26s. They had about 60k miles on them with a little ways to go so they hold up well.

When I had my ST, I did EBC Redstuff pads, and Geomet coated rotors. Low dust, great stopping power, but the pads are a little pricy. I recently moved on to a Golf R, and I wanted to try the Z23 Power Stop pads off Rockauto. I can say they’re pretty much indistinguishable from the Redstuff pads. They have a bed in procedure that you have to go do, otherwise they will feel meh. After bedding them in, they feel amazing!

I use EBC Green Stuff. They are organic. More brake dust, but you really can feel the stopping power.

Ebc green stuff are great so far 200 miles

These brand new EBC front pads got a bit cooked on my GR Corolla after a 2-day event at Watkins Glen. She still stopped without any drama at the bus stop, but it's concerning I ran through them this quickly.

Also not a fan of the yellowstuff pads, but views are mixed.
