Review on ๐Ÿ”ฅ Power Stop Z23-1723 Z23 Evolution Sport Brake Pad with Carbon Fiber Infused Ceramic Technology and Hardware by Craig Kimball

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent Braking Performance

These ceramic brake pads were a great purchase for my 2014 Acura MDX. They smoked and smelled the first day after I replaced them but they fell asleep fairly quickly and quit smoking on the 2nd day. I didn't make any aggressive stops and just drove normally. I checked the wheels for excessive heat but it was quite difficult to tell as the temperature was around 80 degrees even at night. They stop the car very well and I have more confidence in them than the original pads that came with my MDX. I think the original pads would have done 50,000 miles (I currently have 43,000 miles on my car) but I have decided to replace them now. I connected the pads to the CENTRIC rotors. Update after 6 months of use: These rotors are great! They squeak slightly initially when the vehicle has not been driven for several days or when the temperature is low. This is insignificant, although it passes in the first minute of driving.
