This is really nice! I've been looking for something like this but can't find any option in Europe.

6 months in, what are your thoughts on the powerstop brake pads? Still happy? I have a brake fluid flush coming up so that's as good a time as any to put in new pads.

I've used powerstop pads on the last 3 vehicles of mine and love them. Most recent was on a jeep Grand Cherokee SRT with the brembo brakes. They were very close to performing how the Brembo pads did but minus all the dust.
I'd buy them for my x3m but for whatever reason, powerstop doesn't make them.

How's the brake dust? Any updates?

[ewhite6]

How bad is the squealing on these? The OEM/Brembos use bonded pads (3M VHB on the back to make them quiet) and all the pics I can find of these show normal looking pads.

Brake dust from the Powerstops is almost non-existent. Like mentioned above, I also have used them on many different cars and they perform really well without the dust.

For the noise, mine squeal in the Winter when they are cold. If I make a few aggressive stops before leaving my neighborhood, they’re usually warm enough to stop squealing. Funny, I have the Powerstop Z26 pads in my Hellcat and they don’t squeal at all.

My gripe about the Powerstops is that I can hear the pad moving around in the caliper but only on my G30, I don’t have this problem on my other cars. I installed mine back in early 2020, called Powerstop and they sent me another set but they made the same noise.

I pulled them and regreased/reinstalled and still have the issue. Im chalking it up to a design issue with the earlier production Z23s for our cars, as I have heard many people recently that are very happy with them and don’t have this issue.

[aerof16]

It’s also worth mentioning that the Powerstop pads don’t eat up your rotors like the factory Brembo pad. I’ve put about 40k miles on my car since I put new pads and rotors on and, while I haven’t measured the rotors recently, they still look brand new and haven’t developed any kind of lip on the inside or outside diameter.

They’re definitely not a track pad but for a daily driver they perform as well as the OEM with all the mentioned benefits above.

Hows the high speed braking! Any fad? I dont race my car, its a daily driven highway queen but i will say, on occasion, i will do a 160-50 harder braking. I havent had to do anything crazy aggressive and havent had any issues but i wanna count in my brakes to do what they should without issues. My last 550, it would go mushy braking anywhere above 130 no matter how hard i brake.

Im trying to find a combo that can handle high speed spirited jaunts

Besides the Powerstop pads, it would also be interesting to hear a reply to that question from somebody who has installed the M Performance brakes on their G30. I've been lusting after that for a while and wondering if there is any practical benefit to going with it.
