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
still have the original fronts on my 2014 Focus ST1 at 93k miles!
I've put either the z23 evolution or the z26 street warrior on many vehicles. Awesome improvement in stopping power across the board.
Powerstop on my Durango RT. Never an issue and been great for years.
I've ended up with Power Stop on 3 Fords (Fusion, Escape, and Focus) and an Infiniti (Q50 3.0t AWD) and have been happy. Plus it's easy to just buy one kit and everything shows up together. I tend not to use their grease (I have a big tube of sil-glyde in the toolbox) and their retention springs for the rear calipers on the Escape didn't fit (this is not uncommon with other brands I've had on it as well). I've also had very good results with AKebono and used to swear by Wagner ThermoQuiet pads until I had trouble getting them a couple years ago and got the Power Stop parts.
Read lots of reviews for power stops but also that they started restickering different pads.
Complete shit. I have replaced failed power stop with auto parts house brands before I stopped selling their products because they were such an issue and the parts store ones were better.
