I've been running PowerStop Track Day pads since a track day in May. I honestly like running them on the street. The brake squeal at low speeds adds to the shitbox feeling. They feel amazing after proper break in procedure.

Pros: feel amazing, good for street
Cons: brake squeal at low speeds

POWER STOP Brake pads

Power Stop Z23 pads and Z17 Geomet rotors. It’s like a whole new car - I know that may sound weird but it really drives better, I’m hyper aware of my car and the ride is smoother. I did it at 69k miles, and I wish I had done it earlier.

Pros: drives better, smoother ride
Mileage: 69000 km

I replaced the dusty, loud semi-metallic Brembo pads with Powerstop z26 pads on my 6-piston front and 4-piston rear Brembos. Been on them for 2 years, NO dust, NO squeak, great bite and excellent cost. Super easy DIY too.

Pros: no dust, no squeak, great bite, excellent cost, easy DIY

I've got Power Stop track day spec pads. They're a little noisy when cold and make a lot of dust but they still stop hard when cold and even better when they have some heat in them.

Pros: stop hard cold, better with heat
Cons: noisy when cold, a lot of dust

Same on my wife's '22 Atlas. So much so that I think it activates the parking sensors on every occasion when we slowly come to a stop, like in a red light and nothing is around the vehicle to make the parking sensors activate. It's just at 37k miles but I'm considering upgrading the pads and rotors!

Pros: considering upgrading
Cons: activates parking sensors, noise at stop
Vehicle: Volkswagen
Mileage: 37000 km
