Power StopZ23-1718 Z23 Evolution Sport Carbon Fiber Infused Ceramic Brake Pad

Good pads, less brake dust!

I previously purchased Power Stop Z26 pads for my 2017 Camaro to reduce brake dust and noise. There was little if any dust and the only noise was first thing in the morning backing out of the garage and maybe the first couple stops but I hate brake noise so I purchased the Z23 pads and replaced the Z26's. The stopping power does not feel as good as the Z26 which was better than the OEM Brembo pads but so far the only noise has been after washing the car or driving in the rain the night before. Other than that, no noise. For most people the Z26 pads are better but like I said I could not tolorate the squealing in the morning. BTW Amazon says the Z23-1718 and Z23-1474A pads will not fit the 2017 Camaro SS but the Power Stop web site says they are the correct pads and they are. The only issue is that the retainer springs they give you do not work on the Camaro but just reuse your OEM springs. Highly recommend either the Z26 or Z23 Power Stop pads.

Love the brakes they stop great and replaced my R1 concepts ceramic series I used to have. Reason i replaced them was because they squealed and weret quiet at all. Always squealed coming to a stop at low speeds. These on the other hand are quiet as can be I love them, definitely recomend and almost no dust on rims!

Put these on my '18 C7 Grand Sport about a week ago and have had close to ZERO brakedust accumulation. Stopping power is substantial as well. Good riddance, Brembos!

After 100 miles, I'm throwing these away.After proper bedding, even resurfaced rotors per " management " recommendation. ...still getting bad brake dust plus brownish tint on all rotors and worse after wash. Never ever experienced this . I've changed pads numerous times on my RX7 and MB. They claim ceramic but I doubt it. These are made in China and price reflects cheap pads compared to Carbotech, Hawks or Akebonos.They will not stand behind their product so I'm done with them. It's a LOT easier cleaning wheels than sanding the brownish crap off the rotors. People say , "drive it, it'll take off the residue". Well, it'll sling onto the wheels like pictured. What a POS.
