Brake pads POWER STOP or OEM Volvo

On my ‘18 Scat (Charger) with 6-piston fronts, I changed to the powerstop fronts at 16k, didn’t touch the rears. At 40k now, no regrets, no incessant squealing, no dust.

Go with powerstop for sure. I bought their complete front and rear kit with drilled slotted rotors, bigger bore calipers, z23 performance padsand braided steel lines. Cost me about 800 dollars but if you want just the fronts that's an insanely good price for the front kit even if it doesn't include calipers.Powerstop is the only brand I see in your picture lineup that actually is performance driven.For the record as well I bought the kit 3 years ago and it's been solid I just replaced front and rear pads a couple months ago for the first time and the pads were perfectly even. Haven't had one issue in about 35k miles of driving.

Just changed mine at 65k for first time. Went with powerstops non slotted and happy so far. I loved my oem brakes and the amount of life I got out of them.

Been running powerstop for years on my daily no issues and if anything pads last alot longer

For brakes though, I've used Powerstop Z17 and they're solid parts.

I've used Powerstop on various other vehicles and have been pretty happy with them. I wouldn't recommend using them on something like an RS, but I'd put them on another daily driver without hesitation.

I put the pads/rotors on the front and just the pads on the rear of my 1st gen, and they are great. I would recommend them and say they're not overkill. Plenty of info online about the oem setup leaving something to be desired. I don't have to apply half the pressure I used to in order to get the same stopping power.

I run Z36s on my 2001. They are fantastic, and have served me well towing and off roading. You probably don't *need* drilled and slotted rotors, but if you're doing it yourself you're already saving money. It's an upgrade from stock for sure.

Update: I bought the Powerstop z26’s (I thought I bought the z23’s) but they so far work great!

My car needs brakes really bad. I had the Front pads replaced at about 60k miles, and it cost me $400 (From a local shop, parts had to be ordered direct from VW). The rears needed replaced then, but I couldn't afford it and just now have the extra cash to do them and figure I will do all 4 brakes at the same time. Also decided to buy parts online because it seems to be MUCH cheaper (Only place I can find local stocking the correct parts is VW, and they are pretty pricey of course). I figured Amazon would be the first place to look (Because I shop there for everything, and have Prime so I get free shipping on everything). Found these, which seem like a good fit: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001D27YQC/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER (Plus, they are 10% off.) The problem is, I cannot find rear brake pads at a similar price, anywhere I look. I figured Power Stop would have a similar pair for the back, but I cannot find them on Amazon (They have such a crappy search function for auto parts). I have tried searching various other sites that carry the above linked pads (Summit, Jegs, THmotorsports) but all of them either don't show rear pads, or their site doesn't search properly. I even tried the Power Stop website to find a parts number but when you 'select your car' the only VW option is Passat. It's driving me crazy. Anyone have an idea of either the parts number for the rear power stop brakes, OR a link to some good similarly priced rears (or front and rears)??? I am planning to get these rotors: http://thmotorsports.com/ebc_brakes...c_brakes/ebc_brake_rotors_upr_premium_replacement_rotors/upr1772/i-1806853.aspx Not looking for anything fancy or top of the line. Car is a daily driver and has been retired from heavy driving ever since it hit 80k miles. Now it just gets me to and from work, and the occasional out of town trip on the weekends. Car is a 2013 VW Jetta S (2.0 4cyl, Non-turbo)
