My experience with PowerStop (on my old Mazda 3) is that they tend to have more bite but, wear out quicker and have more brake dust than OEM. That being said, they were quiet and held up fine until they were fully worn down.

Pros: more bite, quiet, held up fine

Cons: wear out quicker, more brake dust

Vehicle: Mazda 3
