I made the same swap.. agree. Not the same bite.. but decent..Good news for me. The discoloration from that pebble caught between the pad and rotor is virtually gone and the rotor is smooth and good to go. I burnished in my new Z26 Extreme pads I installed on all four corners tonight. A little different feel from the Brembos. The Brembos definitely have more initial bite but the Z26's stop pretty well too. Just don't have that quick head jerk bite down when you tap the brakes. Good enough for my street driving and much less dust.
Do these pads work on the OEM Brembo calipers?Ok so here are the part numbers for the Power Stop Z26 Extreme pads. I bought them online from Rock Auto.
Front Z26-1853
Rear Z26-1718
Yes. You're just swapping pads. I found Auto Fanatic's video about how he went about curing his brake squeal very helpful for the pad removal and re-install. He's a little long winded but the info is very good.Do these pads work on the OEM Brembo calipers?

Exact same part numbers I currently have installed on my car. Install went extremely easy, especially with the CaliPerfexion brake caliper stud kit up front.Do these pads work on the OEM Brembo calipers?
You’ll find your car settles and additional 1/4” to 1/2” over time with the FP springs. Looks real good when all’s said and done.Installed FP lowering springs with Ground Control camber plates. I'm very happy with the drop and the quality of the camber plates is incredible.
