Has anyone tried the power stop brakes?
I’m thinking of getting a brake change for the summer and my friend suggested the Z23 Evolution Sport Brakes, which are both pads and rotors. Just wanted to see if they’re actually good or not.
thanks

I have upgraded my brakes to the C63 front and rears, and i am using the Powerstop Z16. I like that there's so much less dust and no brake noise. Wheel washing is less of a thing now...
i think you will do well with the Z23 pads and rotors, and they are cost effective too...

Why dont you stick with OEM. Is the price difference big? Brakes should be good quality product as they are related to safety.

Its over a 1000$ difference and I’m not planning on keeping my current car (W205 C400) for much longer and don’t see the need of getting OEM brakes when I can get the same results from aftermarket

OEM brake pads are semi metallic on sports brake variation. I tried the power stop ceramic pads on my other cars and will do for my c43 when it's due.
