Guy above says don’t go cheap….I just used some raybestos pads and rotors for the rear I got from rock auto for 100$. Cheap, fast and easy. First time doing brakes and despite some snags had it done in an hour.
Get the Powerstop z36 don’t waste the extra money on the red calipers.
I have had good experiences with PowerStop rotors/pads. I tow an 8k camper regularly with my half ton on stock wheels/height.
Fitted my 2017 with new front/rear brakes and rotors yesterday. I went with the daily driver level Raybestos brand kit from Rockauto. Included both pads and rotors with hardware. Did the work myself. While I obviously can't say anything about longevity yet, performance seems good so far. Especially for the price when compared to over double for Duralast from my local AutoZone.
I use and recommend the Z23 Evolution Sport Pads. They refer to it as Carbon Fiber Ceramic. It is incredible. It really last a long time. Has great stopping power and it produces very little brake dust.
Their brakes are quiet and last a long time compared to my previous experiences. Pads going on two years. No noise, no squeaks, no rattles. very minimal brake dust.
I self installed Z23 Powerstop Evolution Sport slotted rotors & carbon fiber ceramic pads kits front and rear from Rock Auto. Superior to OEM in every aspect. Better longevity, quieter, with greatly improved braking.
I replaced the front rotors and pads on my 2020 V60 with a Z23 Powerstop kit I bought from Rockauto. I opted for the standard rotors instead of slotted and drilled. It’s been just over 2 weeks and they are very smooth.
I use these pads (and rotors) on my FX35. A couple things I have noticed:
1). There have never been appropriate rattle clips included with any set of pads that I have ever purchased for this car…ever. I am still on OEM stuff at 180k miles. That isn’t just Raybestos. I even ordered Centric hardware…no dice. Not even close. Mind you, I always order model-specific hardware. No idea what the issue is, but it is clearly for the wrong car.
2). These pads take a few stops to heat up, which I kind of expected. I am satisfied with them on my daily, but the rotors are another matter entirely. They all warp within a month or two. That is odd considering they advertise the construction as Dura-Bar. That should be pretty resistant to that kind of thing. They definitely don’t hold up like Centrics do.
3). The shims have a nasty habit of falling off. Not while driving, but during service. You have one maybe two removals before they go MIA.
Other than that, I am not sure that I have noticed an issue with the pads being either wrong or out of tolerance. That is very not what I would expect from a brand like this.
I have them and haven't seen any improvement in braking. They're also very noisy.
