Rating 5.0

I also swapped out the pads and rotors with Powerstop Z36 Truck and Tow carbon fiber ceramic pads and drilled and slotted rotors. They turned out to be fantastic, especially with towing in the mountains and the Nebraska Sandhills. Highly recommend!

Pros: fantastic, towing in mountains

OEM Hyundai Brake pads

I have a 21' Hyundai Accent which was basically the sedan version of the Venue before the Accent got axed. I live in the NE so I've encountered plenty of road salt as well as coastal salt/driving through minor coastal flooding. My car has basically zero rust underneath. I wash it immediately (within 24 hours) of driving through coastal flooding or winter treated roads, or as soon as temps go above freezing. Shit, I've got 80k on this car on the original brake pads and there's NO rust on the rotors or calipers, which to me is an unexpected surprise for someone who drives in corrosive conditions.

Pros: no rust, original pads
Vehicle: Hyundai Accent
Mileage: 80000 km

OEM Hyundai Brake pads

On the other hand, all I did to it was change oil, brake pads, tires and spark plugs. Ran all the time, snow, sun, rain. Drove it everywhere. Put loads of miles on it.

Pros: ran all the time
Vehicle: Hyundai Accent

Rating 4.0

I picked up some Power Stop pads (Z23915B and Z231095) back in 2016 and they are still going strong. I wouldnt say they are "low dust", but they do seem less than OEM. They seemed to be a bit more bite than my OEMs.

Pros: more bite than OEM
Cons: not low dust
Part number: Z23915B AND Z231095

POWER STOP Brake pads

I have used powerstops basic kit on Amazon for years now and had no problems. They say they're a "street upgrade" but they're just good quality pads and rotors.

Pros: good quality, no problems

POWER STOP Brake pads

Installed new Centric High-Carbon rotors + PowerStop Z23 Evolution Carbon-fiber Ceramic pads on front only. I'm getting significant brake judder. Steering and vehicle body shakes, but the brake pedal does not pulsate. No pulling to either side. Really bad when stopping from 80 MPH+.

Cons: significant brake judder
Vehicle: Volkswagen
Mileage: 55000 km
