Brake Pad Replacements?

[thebaldlatino5.0]

What are some good suggestions on some ceramic brake pads? I've got a 17 GT with the performance pack brembos.

I've been running the Power Stop Z23s for a few years, and they're awesome. Great stopping power, comparable total bite, lower initial bite, compared to the stock PP pads. I get additional pedal travel, which allows for easier heel/toe downshifts. The Z26s are the same compound, but have a different, stiffer backing plate, that might work better, but might increase noise. The pads do dust, but they dust way less than the stock PP pads.

I put Powerstop Z23 pads on my car in March. Installation was so easy. Perhaps the easiest and quickest pad change I have ever done. Bedded them in on the first drive of the year. I swore I would not drive another km with the OEM pads due to them constantly shedding brown dust. The OEM pads also had a habit of grabbing just before coming to a slow stop and making the car nosedive. Drove me nuts.
So far the new pads are awesome. Almost no dust, quiet, and predictable positive braking action. Highly recommend the Z23 for a daily driver or street machine.

Z26 PowerStop pads here. Less initial bite than OEM, but not by a huge amount. Dust is reduced dramatically. Overall great street pad.
