Power Stop Z23-1405 Front Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Brake Pads with Hardware For Cadillac ATS CTS | Chevy Camaro Corvette | Dodge Challenger Charger Durango | Jeep Grand Cherokee [Application Specific]

Not fitted with Cadillac ATS

I installed the Z23-1405 pads on my new 2019 Dodge Challenger 392 Widebody two months after I bought the car. The (OEM) Brembo pads were making tons of awful brown dust and I could not keep my rims clean. I installed the Powerstop pads in under 2 hours. It was easy after watching a couple of YouTube videos on the subject. I went out to a rural road and did the break-in procedure. No squeals or squeaks at all after driving daily for 4 months. They stop just as good as the original pads. I can't tell the difference. There's no dust all and my rims stay looking great. This was a great upgrade. I'm no race track demon so I cannot speak about potential brake fade on a track doing laps, but in the city and on the highways, I've never noticed any problem at all. I think these pads are a great upgrade for Brembo brakes.

I am an advanced road course driver, I have considerable experience on the track with a modified Mustang Cobra, C6 Z06 and a 2016 Dodge Challenger Hellcat. The OEM pads on the Hellcat were the worst at producing brake dust. I was somewhat reluctant to switch pads because of the excellent bite and stopping power of the stock pads on the superb Brembo brakes. One of the best features of the Hellcat is the stopping distance, 60 to 0 in 104 feet. I finally got fed up with the dust issue and decided to give them a try first on the front to see how they bite. I knew from the forum that the dust issue would go away with the Power Stop pads, I had to be sure the stopping power would not suffer. I can confidently say that after installing the Z23 pads the stopping power is as good as with the stock pads while the brake dust has been reduced by about 80 to 90%. I highly recommend these pads. However, if you plan on running hard on the track or extra hard on the street then go for the Z26 pads. They may possibly (not necessarily) make a little more noise but they will run cooler than the Z23 pads. The pad compound is the same it's the shims that change from the Z23 to the Z26. The Z23's have a softer shim while the Z26's stainless shims will dissipate heat faster. Also, installing these pads is so easy my wife can do it and in fact she has asked for dibs on doing the rear pads when they arrive tomorrow. They are a breeze to install.

Low dust from oem pads

As everyone else has said, the Brembo's on the Hellcats are dust generators. You could literally clean your wheels, drive around the block for 2 minutes and then need to clean them again. Ridiculous. Sure, the Brembo's will stop better on the track by far. They will also stop better when the brakes get super hot. You are very unlikely to get into either of these scenarios on the street. The downside is that they generate are TON of dust and are very noisy. They are also very expensive pads. For street driving you'll never notice the braking difference. These are the perfect pads for the street. Zero noise and ZERO dust. Very easy to install as it takes longer to remove the wheel than it does to actually change the pads out. You will love these.
