Swapped powerstop pads on to the fronts. Stopped the squeal, improved braking and now I have absolutely zero brake dust that used to be horrible with the original pads. The pads weren’t expensive, definitely worth it.

Pros: stopped squeal, improved braking, zero brake dust

Vehicle: Ford

I put Powerstop Z23s on the front of my '20 and I'm very happy with them. A little noisy on cold mornings for the first couple applications but that goes away when they warm up a tiny bit.

Pros: very happy, quiet when warm

Cons: noisy on cold mornings

Vehicle: Alfa Romeo Giulia

Project Mu Club racers front and rear will cost the same as just the XP10 fronts. Then use powerstop Z16 for the street, super low dust. Same rotors for both.

Pros: low dust

I run power stop on my IS250 for the past 5 years. They somehow still look brand new over the past 50k miles so they really do last.

Pros: look brand new, really last

Mileage: 50000 km
