Brake pads POWER STOP or TRW

PowerStop Z23 pads are excellent with little to no dust and great bite.

Power stop is a great upgrade, I use the z23 pads.

I’ll be switching to TRW Ultra pads when the time comes. All reviews say they are similar in performance to OEM without the dust.

They’ve been performing great, it can stop much faster. Went with Power Stop Z23 pads.

I use TRW brake pads (just checked, articles are GDB3592 for front, GDB2172 for back). They make quite a lot of brake dust during spirited driving, but that’s not a big deal for me (IMO more brake dust = less wear on brake discs).

I got these. Cheap, good quality, good braking and look cool. Power Stop K7175 Front Z23 Carbon Fiber Brake Pads with Drilled & Slotted Brake Rotors Kit

I can recommend TRW „DTEC“ pads. Almost no brake dust, no squeaking, good bite on the breaks. The only trade of is that when it’s really cold or raining and you drive on the highway for a long time, the first half of a second when you break again the performance is weak. That’s what I experienced. I never had this with the original pads in winter time or heavy rain.

I always get Powerstop Brakes from Amazon. A set of Front & back costs me less than 500-600AED. Previously I used to buy Brembo's (OEM) as costed me 1200 AED for front & Back . I don't see any noticeable performance issues at all. The work the same way.

A $30 set of carbon ceramic powerstop pads will fix that.

Did the front / rear rotors and pads myself with Power Stop kit. Excellent upgrade and with 30k miles on them have tons of life left.
