power stop Z36

[WRENCHHEAD]

to anyone that has been using these for awhile, just wanted to get a long term opinion from you guys about them.

have any noise issues, premature wear/cracking rotors or anything of this sort come up for you guys?

Still on the original front pads with about 60k miles on them, rear pads got chewed through in about 40k miles due to atrac doing it's thing offroad most likely. They don't throw a lot of dust, they are quiet except an occasional cold squeak when wet or sat for a while and rotors oxidized a bit. The only other complaint is the front pad holes for the pins is slightly oversized so they rock back and forth a little and clunk, and the anti rattle clips that came with them flung off. I added two OEM anti rattle clips per front caliper, top and bottom, and they are bearable. I just get used to the clicking sound when coming to stop. I would buy them again.

My report isn't long term since I've only had the Z36 gear for a few months but so far, it's terrific. Very happy I chose that option when I redid the brakes.

thanks for the honest review! no one ever mentions the hole size and the resulting clunk on amazon and other sources with reviews.

are you experiencing and clicking or clunking with your pads?

Never had an issue with the Z36 setup. It always came down to a caliper going bad and ruining them prematurely.
