Brake pads POWER STOP or DIXCEL

Powerstop Z26 pads are pretty good for the price. G-Loc GS-1s are nice for street use. Both are low dust.

I’ve gone with ceramic pads on my cars. Minimal brake dust, low brake fade, quiet.

I just installed powerstop ceramic pads and blank rotors. Similar stopping power to oem but way less brake dust.

I used a decent set of coated Raybestos rotors and a set of the most expensive PowerStop pads front and rear on my last brake job on my LS 430 — came from RockAuto. The rotors haven’t warped, the pads are wearing nicely and are no where near as filthy as the Brembo’s I had been using and I can’t tell the difference between this setup and the Lexus parts. No squeaks either!

Go to an independent BMW shop. PowerStop Z23 pads are a super budget friendly option. I've run them on all 3 of my street MINIs. Very quiet and low dusting but good performance.

I switched to the Powerstop pads about a month after I bought it and haven’t had any issues with stopping at all, not even a close call (knocks on wood). They still produce dust but I don’t see it accumulating nearly as fast as the OEM Brembos.

I have front and rear power stop pads and rotors on my scat, and oem brembos on my rt both 4 piston calipers and the difference is not noticeable. I beat these brakes down and have never had an issue

My powerstop have no stopping issues in my scat

In my experience, I went like 70k miles on the factory brakes. I then went with various rock auto/duralast/car quest rotors and pads over the years and they all sucked longevity wise. Maybe half the life. Warped quickly, reduced bite sometimes

If that quote is just for pads, it's not a ripoff. it's criminal!!! Do yourself a favor and buy powerstop, install them yourself, and save a fortune. Scat brakes are ridiculously easy to work on.
