Street driven daily, sometimes spirited driving. I am looking for best bang for the buck, please do not confuse with cheapest. These will go in a 2016 GT with the Performance Package.

I'd go with Powerstop Z26. The G-LOC GS-1 and Carbotech 1521 are probably a little better pads but quite a bit more expensive.

Did you have any complaints with the stock pads?

I mean, they're a little dusty, but so are the Carbotech and Gloc street pads.

I put the Powerstop Z23s in, and I'm overall happy with them. They dust less, but they make a little more noise on cold days. I think I'm going to switch back over to the stock pads (they only had like 10k miles on them) for a bit, and see if I can live with the dust.

BTW, the Z23s are the same compound as the Z26, but with a different backing plate.

Z26 here as well. Fantastic pads! No noise, very low dust, and grab way better than OE.

Is the Brembo the six piston set? I was on the phone with Power Stop and the lady taking care of me could not answer that question. I think hey have the GT PP sub model as GT with 6 piston brakes, but then they have the EcoBoost as Performance Pack, weird.

Powerstop Z23s have been great. Very low dust, good performance, a little squeal during the recent cold weather but usually dead quiet. 45 bucks for the entire front set on rockauto.

EB PP gets the same brakes as the base GT (non performance pack).

Part number you want (2 of these): PS-Z26-1792

GT PP is 6-piston Brembo.

Eco PP is regular 4-piston from the base GT.
