Squealer!!!

So, I purchased these pads to accompany the Power Stop z23 Evolution Rotors. In terms of performance and looks, the rotors themselves perform well and look great! As far as overall stopping power, I haven't noticed a big difference from the stock brakes but they are quality none the less. The real issue I have with these pads is that as the title indicates, they squeal..., very very loudly! Embarrassingly loud! If you're trying to get your mustang noticed, this isn't the kind of attention you want! I had them installed professionally by Ford( I don't take chances when it comes to brakes) and had no issue the 1st day. However, once the car sat and got cold, for the 1st 2 minutes, each time I stopped sounded like a banshee was screaming outside the car. I figured this might just be because they were new and need time to break in. However, I've had the brakes on for almost 2 months and I'm still having this issue. The issue is also made worse during cold or rainy conditions. Once the brakes heat up or during hard stops, there is no issue. Just be prepared to deal with the embarrassment of the squeal when you first get started. Honestly, I would not recommend these and definitely wouldn't buy these again if for no other reason due to the squealing.

No noise, but don’t bite very hard

Bought these because the pads i had before were basically track pads and squeaked real bad. These got rid of the squeal but don’t bite as hard as those or the stock brembo pads. Still good braking performance though and worth it to get rid of the noise.

Great stopping power, loud squeal

Man these pads were embarrassing at low speed stops, such a loud squeal. I greased the proper areas, I bedded them as recommended but the squeal would not go away. I removed them for Wagners that are quiet and stop well but kept these incase I road race the car. Still, great fit and great price but couldn't get passed the noise.

Less dust

Less brake dust and dramatically improves stopping power, less wheel scrubbing is totally where it’s at.

For the money its a great upgrade

These pads went in really easy and stop great. Minimal dust and with the drilled and slotted rotors are a great upgrade.

Big difference

Just had these put on today with drilled and slotted rotors and couldn’t be happier. Hopefully the brake dust will be minimal compared to old pads. Stopping power Is..right now. 5 stars
