Brake pads POWER STOP or OEM Honda

Brakes and rotors are kinda easy.

Honestly the OEM pads are fantastic in this car, I’ve been told by the guy that runs the xgen autocross page that the oem ones are fine for most street and autocross applications.

I too have used powerstops with more than satisfactory results. Shorter stopping distances with less brake dust.

I've used powerstops and bosch on my xc60. Braking performance felt slightly improved from the OEM for both. The powerstops (Z23 model) are also significantly less dusty, while the bosch pads produced about the same amount of dust as the OEM.

Just to back up Copbait, I’ve used the Z23s on my vehicles as well. You can feel they reduce the braking distance and almost no dust as well.

The clutch is light, the brakes feel solid, and the manual steering has a good, confident feel. The engine doesn't lug even if you bring it down to around idle speed, provided you're in the right gear.

1 week after new brakes and NO DUST!!

Note: I've been using Powerstop Z23 disk/pads on front/back for few years.

I put these on and man what a difference compared to OEM. Braking has much more bite than I thought.

Got the z23 kit for my 2011 R/T AWD. Night and day difference, these brakes bite hard when applied. Very much worth the purchase.
