Brake pads POWER STOP or Bendix

Power stop z17 all the way. Very good quality pad. Never really knew that pad quality mattered until I had a couple cars with squeaky brakes only to find out that installing the power stop pads resolved the squeak. They’re always good about coming with hardware.

I've used Bendix for decades now. I think they're a very underrated brand. I've never had any troubles out of them. I was a mechanic for almost 25 years. I've used just about every pad out there. For my personal stuff, I look for Bendix. The reasonable price and excellent quality is what I've always appreciated.

I've used Power Stop Z17 and Z23 on many many vehicles with no issues. No noise, low dust, excellent bite.

Bendix Ceramic. $20. OG rotors at 140k, they've been turned once and are within spec. Next time I'll grab the DD Centric rotor/pad combo off RockAuto for $55.

I did all 4 Brembo rotors + Z23 Powerstop ceramic pads for ~$400 from Rockauto on my F15 35i last year. The Z23 pads are a favorite amongst the X5M crowd I’ve been loving them for over a year now - don’t usually buy Powerstop but these are great. All around great setup

Been running Powerstop for the last 4 years…have been solid for me, no issues.

I have touch of squealing when I first leave my driveway in the morning. I have about 20 miles in them so far (changed last week). Performance is great no complaints.

Dust is gone.

Dust decrease was excellent and I had a smidge of squealing at very low speed initially, but it’s resolved after a few weeks.

I did Power Stop KOE7609 and overall I wasn't impressed. Not the best stopping power.

I’ve used powerstop and they’re no better than any cheap/ mid range brakes
