Brake Pads
I think this might be an easy one for you all.
The question is, after 1 set of OE pads and two of z26 pads and getting a shudder, in the experience of this forum, is the stock pad aggressive enough to clean the rotor up after some driving, or should I plan on a manual clean or rotor replacement? Also, if I run the new pads on the old rotors and the shudder doesn't go away, will the pads be trashed and have to get new ones with new rotors? This stuff isn't the cheapest to take chances on.
Since owning the car since new in 2017 and 40k miles later, I have gone through one set of OE pads and two sets of the Powerstop z26. I loved the stock pads but the z26 left a lot to be desired. I do think they stop ok enough and the dust is almost non existent, but I did not like how fast they faded after one or two spirited pulls and brake events just on the now occasional drives. The second set of pads still have 50% life but will fade out with one harding brake to the point where they become dangerous. They have also created a shudder from deposits with anything more than just normal braking. Long story short, not for me and I am going to go back to stock.
Thank you all.
