Brake pads POWER STOP or Hella Pagid

Just today installed powerstop z32 pads and evolution coated rotors. Best you can get without making the jump to EBC pads.

I've been researching brake pads recently since I was looking for something to replace my awful Akebono pads up front. What I've learned is that Textar and Pagid are OEM pads and will have the "BMW brake feel". Textars are usually on the rears and Pagid on the fronts. Bosch is supposedly not quite as good as the other two. I bought the Pagid pads and man, what an improvement from the Akebono. I can stop again without having to jam on the brakes.

I run pagid rsl29 (yellow) and i have been a big fan -- but it seems like you either love them or hate them, no in between.I still have over 75% brake pad left after 11 days on track-- with that said, factory brake cooling is pretty good on my car's front brakes (M2 Competition). I think most folks whom have issues have inadequate cooling which leads to very high temps, which the rsl29 do not like

I think the kit you linked would do you well, I've had ceramic pads before from Power stop. Just follow the bed in procedure and you'll be good. Less brake dust too if I'm not mistaken.

I put these on and there’s a noticeable increase in stopping power.

I use Powerstop Ceramic brake pads. Ceramic pads last longer, brake smoother, and little to no brake dust on rims ????????

Pagid have done me surprisingly well on track days.

With pagid discs and pads i have never had this issue.

Powerstop Z23 front combo and Brembo rotors with Akebono ceramic pads for the rear on a 2013 Golf TDI. Both ends seem to be really good.

I threw a set of drilled/slotted Z23 model PowerStop brakes on my 2013 TDI Beetle for shits and giggles because I had some extra cash and they've been superb. A bit loud but mashing them hard almost puts me through my windshield.
