Rating 4.0

I did a similar Brand: Power Stop Z26 Streets and I think they’re fine. Anything will be better than the OEM padding/Rotor. Didn’t even flush brake fluid, they did take a few drives before fully losing the squeak/grind sound when approaching full stop even after doing required bedding process. I’m at 72k miles on 2019 3.3t

Pros: better than OEM
Cons: squeak/grind sound
Mileage: 72000 km

I have Power Stop Z23 Ceramic/Carbon Fiber pads, they are quiet and no dust. This is for my daily driven car, no track action.

Pros: quiet, no dust

I've got PowerStop stuff and man it is powerful. It is noisy for the first stop after a rain to burn the rust off the rotors, but that's it.

Pros: powerful braking
Cons: noisy when wet

I just put them on my 2013 silverado my old rotors were vibrating hard at high speed braking and the powerstop drilled/slotted rotors and pads are completely smooth when braking at higher speed

Pros: smooth braking, no vibration
Cons: vibrating rotors

TRW Brake pads

I didn't touch the calipers, I thought the calipers were ATE, but could be TRW. I only changed out rears at this time, fronts are still the same. The pads are TRW ceramic something or others that came with zimmerman rotors in the cheapish FCP kit.

Vehicle: Volkswagen

I recently changed out my OEM pads to Powerstop Z26 for the front and rear. Big difference over stock. Went through the bedding process and they're really solid.

Pros: big difference, really solid

They are way better than the duralast pads I had. They have a better pedal feel and don’t squeak. They also stop the truck faster.

Pros: better pedal feel, quiet
Cons: squeaky

Changed the front brake disc and pads (TRW brand) on my car (Opel/Vauxhall Astra J 2016) and noticed my car started to smell heavily burnt rubber after heavy braking when the car stops. I understood that brakes does this in the beginning but now it has gone s month and probably around 150km (100miles) and I also have made some emergency brakes from high speed to speed up this process. So two weeks ago I removed everything and really deep cleaned the caliper and checked the pads. From smelling the pads it seems like it is the glue between the brake pad and the anti squeak plate that cause the smell (?) I also checked the temperature of the brake disc after normal usage and they are all around the same temperature, so I doubt it is a frozen caliper. (Around 70c 155f) but still they smell, maybe a bit less.

Pros: easy installation
Cons: burnt rubber smell
Vehicle: Opel Astra J
Mileage: 150 km
