New Breaks and Rotors...Powerstop questions

[62Telecaster]

Correct. The basic Ecoboost brakes are their own animal.

Yeah that's what I thought, I don't think they have my stuff available at the moment then.

I mean that's exactly what I'd like to find though...if anybody out there could help me track down a 2 piston standard Ecoboost/Non-performance package hardware kit for the front and rear, man I'd be thankful lol. I'm drawing blanks on coming up with anything on my own/just am not seeing it anywhere.

I run Z26 with the Powerstop rotors with no issue. I have about 20k on them and no rust or any other problems.

I just upgraded to these pads and rotors. How long before the dust dissipates? My Black wheels look gray after a day of driving.

Did you follow the bed-in procedure? I didn't get too much dust after completing the bed-in and then washing later.

I went with Z23 pads and the blank/geomet coted rotors. They go on next week...just can't do the drilled/slotted thing based on my likes and lack of well...anything track related, lol.

I'm late to the party, but I have a Z17 pads on the front of my car with Brembos. They stop plenty well for normal street driving and keep the wheels 100x cleaner than factory pads. I kept my factory pads in case I ever hit the track, but they are way too grabby/dusty for daily duty IMO.

Also, my Z17 pads came with clips but they didn't fit. Seemed to be a manufacturing issue so I reused the factory clips and they worked great.
