19 PP1 Braking Issue

[hossman]

I have used these pads before on my 840hp 17 Mustang GT with the two piece rotors and they performed much better than the OEM PP1 pads and didn’t chew up my rotors for 16,000 hard driven miles so I decided to use them again so I can speak that they are definitely not garbage. Price doesn’t determine how well something works and I could get OEM pads for $87.

Powerstop racing brakes and rotors,

These are garbage unless you want zero dust.

So at best, maybe half a step above the $50 mass-market pads you can get at AdvancePepZone.

If that's true, then either their quality control sucks or they changed the formulation. Your current experience is the only thing that matters now, but at least you're not out a lot of money for having found out..

Cheap generic pads, no wonder.

They very well might be glazed already from your attempted bedding. Take one of the fronts off and see if they're glazed (shiney).

Pulled the pads and they were glazed. Just put in Hawk HP+ that arrived this morning and they work like a champ.

You're going to want to watch rotor wear . . . like a Hawk . HP+ are extremely abrasive in street duty. Been there.

Seriously, which pads?

Has he stated which pads he is using? that makes all the difference in Maximum braking potential.

Yes (on page 1), and he's changed them out since (above).

HP+ ?
Not what you want to find, either.

Those pads are unreasonably abrasive on rotors in street driving.

I learned the hard way about the HP+ on the street also.

The brand is "Hawk" the pad formula is HP+

If you are asking about his original pad that he glazed, they are Chinese no names sold by brake performance.

That company sells very good rotors but their brake pads suck.
