Secondary Update. I ordered the matching PowerStop Z26 rears, and they also have no clunk and fit well! The pads feel meh until you bed them in. After that they feel great! Slightly less initial bite than OE, but the pedal is much more linear, making it easier to come to a smooth stop at lights. Overall for less than $100 for a front and rear set you\u2019d be hard pressed to find a better pad for daily duty plus a little fun on the side.

Pros: fit well, pedal linear
Cons: less initial bite

POWER STOP Brake pads

I've been using Powerstop brakes for years, and haven't had any mechanical problems. My only issue (and this is a personal one) is that the thick rubber backing makes the pedal feel a bit spongy.

Cons: spongy pedal feel

I just did brakes with: Powerstop Evolution Sport, Drilled/Slotted Discs, Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Pad Part Kit#: P15K5305, Mach V Techna-Fit SS Lines, Motul DOT 4 fluid. All for under $600 and I’ve been very happy with this setup. I don’t track but drive spirited and they’ve performed flawlessly, and no more brake dust.

Pros: flawless performance, no brake dust
Vehicle: Subaru
Part number: P15K5305

So I just got my powerstop kit installed yesterday. It was $355 from autoparts warehouse and they threw in free shipping. The kit looks pretty good the nickel plating looks very clean but they don't look as agressive as some of the other kits I've seen. The install was not bad at all although I ran into a snag resetting the rear calipers (I didn't do my homework on what tool to reset them with but I eventually got some help). On my first drive I was not impressed with the stopping power of the ceramic pads and the slotted cross drilled rotors (I was thinking it would have this incredible improvement because powerstop claims the pads don't need to be seated to be at peak performance). I beg to differ they were no different than my oem brakes at all yesterday while driving but after having put about 100 miles on them I am starting to see a lot of improvement in my stopping distances without having to mash the pedal. The pads were pretty noisy at first but today are dead quiet (unlike my oem pads). The pedal doesn't feel any different as far as weight but I don't have to press in on it as much to make sudden stops (I thought I was going to see my lunch again today while in Charlotte traffic at one point). Overall I think it isn't a bad upgrade for somebody on a budget like me who wants to have more performance out of your brake system that functions as an everyday driver or could be used on an autox day. I think I'm going to try it this year . I will try to post some pics of the car with the kit installed and keep you guys updated on how the kit feels if there is any changes over the next few weeks or any brake fade.

Pros: improvement in stopping distances, pads are quiet
Cons: noisy at first, seating required
