Brakemotive rotors

[mikes2017gt]

Anyone know a place where i can order z26 pads for my GT/PP for cheap?

Best price I found on the Z26 pads was Jegs. I bought mine 2 weeks ago. They were cheaper than Amazon once you factor in sales tax.

^^ thanks mikes!
Should i just buy the front ones?

IMO you should have the same pads all around. Don't want one "grabby set" up front with "high mileage pads" out back or some other odd combo.

With how little the rears get used compared to the front with normal driving, this will probably be a one-time replacement. YMMV, of course. I bought Z26 pads front and rear to go with the new Brakemotive/PS rotors I bought for front/rear. Seems logical to me.

Sorry for the many questions lol. How is the dust of the z26's compared to the stock pads?

Anyone got a link for the z26 rear pads? Jegs is pretty vague about fitments for my car and american muscle nor cjpp have them.
Are these the right rear pads? It say it fits 2015-2017 Mustangs but i also says it fits GT350s?

Don't know as I haven't installed them or the rotors yet. Don't have a lot of free time outside of work, unfortunately. But without work, there are no upgrades. Or car. Or house. Or food. There's that....:(

1792 and 1793...the formatting got all screwed up.

We are talking about performance package brakes right?

 

[mikes2017gt]

Yes. The Z26 pads fit the PP 15" rotors/Brembo combo. Rear rotors and calipers are the same throughout the Ecoboost/V6/GT line. The GT350 uses diff rear rotors/calipers, IIRC.

Thanks a lot mike!

Can you use the stock brembo pads with these rotors?

 

[mikes2017gt]

Yes, you can use the stock pads with the rotors. But be careful about using old, worn pads with new rotors. If your pads have considerable wear it's best to get new pads.

On Monday I installed the rotors with the Powerstop Z26 pads all the way around on my 2017 GT Premium w/PP. I did manage to go out and go through the bedding process right after the installation and needless to say I had some messy wheels when I got back home. Granted the bedding process really heats up the pads and rotors and I am sure that had a lot to do with the excessive dust.

Sadly shortly after getting home it started raining and the car has been in the garage ever since so I can't comment further on the brake dust. I will say that the braking performance is easily on par with the factory performance pack pads. Is it better? I haven't had enough time to test that. It sure looks a lot nicer especially with the S350 wheels. If the brake dust is reduced, it will surely be a plus!

I've been running the Z26 pads for a few months now and in regards to brake dust, they have been great. All pads dust to some extent, just some more than others. Very little dust with these pads and the wheels stay pretty clean. It doesn't have that initial bite like everyone has been saying which I do miss but for the price, low dust, noise, etc. you can't go wrong. Now their Track Day pads is a whole nother story, dust city but great track pad for the weekend warrior.
