Best brake pads

[RogueMetal]

I tried searching for any related post about brake pads but couldn’t find anything. I’m looking at break pads for a 2020 PP1 Mustang GT. I keep seeing powerstop Z23 and Z26. I was wondering which one was best. I don't daily the car but when I do drive it I'm pretty throttle heavy. I don't track the car expect for the occasional race the po po event at the local drag strip. Tons of spirited driving but once again, hardly any track time. Which one should I go for? Thanks in advance

Did you search for 'brake pads'?

I'd go hawk 5.0 pads if it was me. I've used them for years. Tried powerstop on the most recent change and they suck in comparison. Braking power isn't as good and they are noisy. The only issue with the hawk pads is they stop so good if your not easy on the brake rolling to a stop sign you will jerk your passanger around.

Thank you! Where would I purchase those if I decided to go that route?

I'm sure @LethalPerformance with his Spring Sale can hook you up. Otherwise, here's the list of site vendors. I reckon a *COUPLE* of them offer products loosely associated with acceleration in the inverse.

you might even stumble on a 1st page listing like so:

Life is a treasure hunt. Enjoy the trip. Acquisition of product is merely the final act in a chain of mouse clicks.

Z23 or Z26 seem to be a solid choice. I like my Z23 pads.

Powerstop z26 is what I use

z23 andZ26 are they same except for the different backplate.

I've bought them directly from hawk and from tire rack once as well.

Z23 for me, they are worth it just for the brake dust reduction, with the original pads my wheels would look bad after 20 miles but with the Z23's I can do 500 miles and they still look good, as far as braking performance I find they are more progressive and if when fitting you put copper grease or the caliper contact surfaces they are silent.

Hawk 5.0 for me not as dusty as stock and doesn’t get that rusty look

Z26

Z26's, mainly for dust reduction from the stock pads.

I've been running Z28 for four years and no dust after initially bedding them in. Zero complaints.
