🔄 Upgraded Front Z23 Carbon Fiber Brake Pads Kit with Drilled & Slotted Brake Rotors - Power Stop K496 Review

I bought this kit for my 1994 BMW 325is and was told it would fit, however the brake pads do not match the stock calipers. Very disappointing

Bought this kit for my BMW Z3. Rotor and pads fit. After breaking the pads as instructed, one of the pads simply came off at the first stop. I had to buy a basic set of semi-metallic ones that work fine.

As always, this kit works great. I bought a second set which on the first car, already at 100,000 miles, is still running perfectly and is just ready for a new pad. I expect this set to last the life of the car. This kit is all I would buy if it was available for the car.

Before installing these pads and discs, I was constantly getting brake dust. Now there is no brake dust at all and braking is excellent, but there was a break-in period that required more than normal brake pressure. Now they miraculously stop without even disappearing. These ceramic pads can handle the heat.

I received the rotors and pads quickly. I installed them on my BMW 328is. I have to say that ceramic pads definitely reduce the brake dust on my wheels. However, the rotors warped a bit after just under 1,000 miles of normal (mostly highway) driving. These are definitely not the kind of rotors to buy for aggressive riding like autocross. If they get worse I'm sure I'll be replacing them in another 1000 miles or so.

I installed them 1.5 weeks ago and am driving my car. I noticed a spongy brake pedal and poor braking performance, as well as a lot of brake dust coming out of my DS's front wheel. I picked up the car this weekend and was told that the outer driver's side brake pad is about 50% warned! Maybe after 200 miles of driving! It must have been a broken pad as the other three pads look fine. I also have a power stop brake kit for my rear brakes and they are working well with about 500 miles so far. All
