Brake pads POWER STOP or Carbotech

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

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.

The OEM pads do not dust like some aftermarket do. I replaced my fronts with OEM, and a couple years later replaced the back with Powerstop from RockAuto - the front dusts significantly less.

Powerstop is great i got z23/26, the change in brake dust is night and day. Dirty in 1 week oem vs 2 months.

I used PowerStop when I did mine about 6 months ago. Nothing fancy (no slotted or anything crazy). A decent rear set (rotors/pads) is probably around 100 USD

Had TRW pads on the rear and they're dusty af! Replaced them a wk ago with POWER STOP CRK7176 from RockAuto and all is Gucci.

Ford brake pads have consistently sucked ass, they stained up the wheels on my focus st and just destroy rotors and make a huge mess in general. I switched to power stop ceramics and slotted rotors, and they have lasted years on with no visible signs of wear on the rotors, and a pad slap on the rear set once.
