Z23-1001 Power Stop Z23 Evolution Sport Front Brake Pads Review

Pads creak after installation. The rotors have been checked for trueness and the brakes are reliable, so there can be no problem.

I confess I wasn't expecting much but I've driven my evo about 24k and still have at least 90% left. Of course it depends on how the rider is using their brakes, but I hit 160mph a couple of times and no excessive noise or glow from the heat.

I own a Hyundai Genesis Coupe 2.0 R-Spec with Brembo brakes. These breaks were extremely easy to install. If you know about hernias, installing a Brembo is actually half the battle. Works great too. I didn't squeak at all. When installing, please make sure you match before installing. They are all similar but 2 are different from the other 2. I learned the hard way.

So, for operating the front brake on the 2015 Cadliac ATS, these pads are a perfect fit. However, the included clip is different from the original and the latches are not long enough as they are 1/2 inch short. The clamps work, but I had to reuse my old pins. Luckily I carefully pulled out the old ones. Also, the included brake grease was very sticky (IMHO). I used another brand that was on hand. Hooray!

I was more impressed with these brake pads than I thought. Replaced the OEM front pads on my 2016 Chevy SS (stock Brembo) because the brake dust was terrible. With the new pads, the brake dust is practically non-existent. I didn't notice any change in braking traction or pedal feel (note that any ceramic pad is likely to perform poorly on track days). One caveat - the first two or three clicks on the brakes make the brakes squeal loudly. Then they are complete.
