[QUOTE="Redneckbmxer24, post: 16467922, member: 34905"] I just put the Z23's on my 2012 to replace the wearing stock brembo pads and ford rotors. I knew going into it that cheap drilled and slotted rotors aren't the best but being on skinnies I wasn't too concerned about max breaking performance. I wanted low dust more than anything else. I was going to go with Hawk ceramics but knew the performance on my car would be pointless so I rolled the dice. For cheap chinese rotors they seem to be pretty decently made but they're definitely not "premium" rotors. The pads seem to do what they claim and be low dust. That said, the braking sucks compared to better brakes and even the stock brakes. I properly bedded them and they've had some break in time and they won't even stop hard enough to get any chirp form the tires or engage ABS with skinnies up front. The stock brakes would do it no problem. That said I do think they're breaking about as hard as the skinnies will grab so they're purpose served for my application. I wouldn't put them on a car that has wider tires and can take advantage of better brakes though, even if it's just a street car. If your pads and rotors are still good and you want to improve braking performance do some high quality SS braided lines front and rear and switch to a high performance brake fluid like Motul or super blue.
