Review on High Performance Front Brake Pads: Power Stop Z23-1405 Z23 Evolution Sport by Chad Baio

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Nice to have clean wheels but squeak!

Front brake pads began to squeak about 4 months after installation. I strictly followed the Power Stop hack procedure hoping to avoid such problems. In the beginning it was every now and then, but now it's 90% of the time. The pads are only guaranteed for 30 days so I spend a few bucks more and get another brand with the same composition from the parts store with a lifetime guarantee. It's embarrassing to hit the brakes and all anyone hears is a long, high-pitched screech. On the other hand, the difference in brake dust between original Brembo pads and these is incredible. In everyday driving I could not tell any difference in braking performance. I would not buy these pads again.

Pros
  • Powder coated skid plate extends life by protecting against rust and corrosion
Cons
  • Empty
