Brake Pad Recommendations - 2015 GT /PP

Cool. What about rotors? I see American Muscle has some great deals on pad / rotor combos but I am leary of aftermarket rotors, and the originals have been amazing. No pulsation ever. Also I notice for the rears, the pad / rotor combo only comes with the Z23 and not the Z26. I suppose I could do the Z26 up front and the Z23 in the rear?

The originals are very good. If you like those, just keep using those.
If you do go aftermarket, make sure they have a high carbon content. The carbon will hold up to heat better and keep them from warping. I went super cheap at one point to try it out and they horribly warped after one track day.
Also, unless you track the car (which you said you don't) you don't need slotted or 2 piece rotors. Save your money

I've only replaced my front pads and rotors and went with OEM for rotors and Z26 for pads. No noticeable difference braking and much less brake dust. My car is only driven 1 or 2 times a week and just for my personal enjoyment. It's never seen the drag strip, a road course or street racing. I do drive it hard, but only at certain times when conditions are appropriate.

Z26 pads with Raybestos sport slotted rotors here. Nice DD setup with good stopping power, low/no dust, and ZERO noise:

As usual, you guys have been very helpful. Thank you.

Z26 pads have nowhere near the initial bite of the stock set.

Hello there,

I've been driving the EBC Red Stuff since April 2021.

i'm happy with them.
it is less dusty than the OEM pads.

but i don't ride my pony on the racetrack anyway.
they are completely sufficient for normal road traffic.

I have the Z26's on my 16, squeal was REAL BAD, from the day I got the car with 5k on it. Would clean the dust and go a way for a 200 or so miles and be back. One of the backing plates was loose on the OEM pads. I have not had any issues on the 20 with noise, just dust.

anyone tried Brembo NAO ceramic rear red pads?( #P24205N ) thinking getting them for rear as there isnt anything for front. and the oem pads for the front.
