Yes i have powerstop on the front and 1000% better on dust, check very often waiting for the rear pads to come out.
I have been searching high and low for a set of ceramic powerstops for my GT500. I found the front brake pads on their website but can’t figure out who actually carries them.

Do you mind sharing where you purchased them?

The amount of brake dust produced from the OEM pads is ridiculous.

Those are stock OEM pads. Is that what you are looking for?

I got mine from Rockauto, the rears are NOT available yet and was told within 6 months they should be available. Be careful as many places list GT350 pads for GT500 pads, just make sure you have the right part number.

I am actually looking for the Z26 Ceramics from Powerstop. I installed them on my 2019 GT350 and the brake dust vanished.

If you are still looking for more OEM pads I can send photos of my fronts once I have them removed. My car has not been tracked so they may be in fairly good shape.

I also found them there but wanted to make sure they were legit before making the purchase. I am ordering mine today! Goodbye OEM brake dust...what a PIA!

Me too, but for the track, I'd stick with the OEM. That is a topic for another time, lol

I guess "made here" isn't the same as made ONLY here as in no outsourced parts at all. I can obviously think of "US companies" but manufacturers who only produce in the US isn't a list of names that jump off the page. Thousands of small businesses all over the Web for sure but I had to ask Mr. G the question and BION, there weren't many household names. Clorox stood out as a surprise.

Names like Boeing came to my mind and Mr. G reminded me of others such as Valero, Microsoft, Phillps 66, and GE. I was hoping that the list would continue to grow but now I have my doubts.

Received my replacement PowerStop pads this week. Installation will take place ASAP. Will provide feedback if the weather cooperates and I am able to extend my driving season this year.

I'll have a set to play Let's Make a Deal, Tom, once the Powerstops I ordered show up AND, I find the time and motivation to swap them out. I think she has 1500 miles, but I'll mic and photograph them.

Mark (@marklboris): I don't know what changed but the last couple of months has shown me just how much dust the factory pads can leave on the wheels! Definitely have to fix that.
