Brake pads POWER STOP or WAGNER

I did PowerStop drilled & slotted with ceramic pads. Fantastic upgrade. Lasted about 2 years until they got noisy as hell.

I would pick power stop at about $150 give or take - you are there with the labor time - put in the new parts

Powerstop Z23 works just fine. Z26 if you want low dust.

I went with a set of Powerstop brakes rear and front and ordered OEM brembos which should completely solve the shutter also improving stability when braking. Will update this

I ran the Ford Severe Duty pads, and now the Power Stop Z36. The Severe Duty pads performed great but had a LOT of brake dust. They are semi metallic so should be higher performance at the cost of brake dust and pad/rotor life. The Power Stop pads feel like they perform just as good (towing) and have almost no brake dust, and seem to be long lasting so I'd recommend them.

If you can double your budget you can get some Dynamic Friction or PowerStops from Jegs or Summit Racing. I'd trust those over some no name brand at Walmart

Recent maintenance includes upgraded Power Stop K5866 front and rear carbon fiber brake pads with drilled and slotted rotors for improved stopping power.

Put Powerstop Z23’s on my 997 and love them. Low dust and the price is hard to beat.

Oem is expensive and are dealer items, and quality aftermarket brakes are readily available. Look for raybestos or Wagner brands for domestic vehicles, ebc for European vehicles. And there is no need for oem wear parts

I replaced the rear pads and rotors with Power Stop pads and rotors. Bleed. Did break in proceedure. No change.
