hey guys i was wondering if the power stop brakes fit on the OEM calipers and rotors and if so could i have amazon links for them . Thank you

Yes. I have the Z36. Great pad so far.

I have the Z26’s on mine. I love them!

Been more than a few people saying the powerstop pads don’t fit correctly. There must’ve been some kind of manufacturing change because mine fit with no problem. I’d go with the Z36 if it were me.

Big bite, brake feel, and stopping power improvement after I switched from stock pads to the PS Z36 pads all around. Had to bed them in aggressively, but that’s how I always do my track pads on my track cars.

My front ones had to have the stainless shims trimmed to make them fit. Rears were fine out of the box. Good pad choice for the $.

One of my rear pads squeals when cold (sub freezing temps now in MN). Noise goes away after the pad warms up.

Same! Z36s all around since last June. They are great! Just a slight squeal in the colder weather when I back out of the garage and then all quiet.

I love mine, some of the hardware didn’t fit. Rear pins were too short.

My power stop Z-23 pads squealed pretty good backing out of the garage in the cold.

Last week I applied brake caliper grease to the back of the pads and pins and no more squealing.

I’ll have to grease my right rear pad some more. It is the only one that vibrates at low frequency when cold at parking lot speeds resulting in a squealing noise.

On the up side, I get virtually no brake dust now on my black matte rims and on the yellow calipers. Pretty cool side benefit, for me.

I’ve been going through these threads trying to understand the differences between the 23/26/36.

Mine arrives Wednesday and I want to pull those dust monsters off right away. I have kept the Brembo pads on my SRT for 3 years and the dust is absolutely insane.

I’m asking for a recommendation. I’m not mechanically inclined so I’ll be paying for install. It’ll be my DD but I only do 5000-6000 miles per year. It’ll never see a track or drag strip and will probably not see any performance mods. I drive easy. It has the tow package but I will never tow anything. I got the tow group for hitch mounted payload carrying (bikes, storage box for trips, etc).

So…which ones?

Thanks guys!

 

[Tytek]

Read up here on the differences. Mainly pad compound to contend with wider braking temp range demands.

The Z36 ones are great when warmed up. Much better pedal feel and bite response than stock pads.

 

[Lil Hemi]

The difference between the 23 and 26 is a shim. The 36 is rated for heavier loads and is what you should select.

Thanks for the info guys! I think I had read that article before.

What worries me (from what I’m reading) is the brake dust from the Z36. I’ll have the wheels and calipers ceramic coated next week and I’m diligent with cleaning my vehicles but if the 36’s are only marginally better with dust then I’d be concerned because it’s my main reason for switching.

Just to be sure in case I go with the z23, the part number coming up for the rears on rockauto is 1053B. Is there a 1053 or is 1053B the correct pad?

 

[Tytek]

My Z36 pads produce negligible amounts of dust. Incomparable to stock pads, from that perspective. In other words, night and day difference.

Just make sure you lube the back plates up to reduce squealing.

Where are you reading the z36 are heavy on dust? I hadn’t heard anything like that. I hadn’t heard about a 1053B option either. Have you visited powerstop’s website for info on the B? It was 6066 and 1053 if I remember right and put z whatever in front of that. I’ve heard some people say they’ve had to file part of the pad down to get it to fit, wasn’t that way for me and shouldn’t be that way (maybe Amazon counterfeit?). I bought before there were options but I’d get the 36’s if it were me buying powerstop pads. Racing Brake is a sponsor here and I’m sure they’d be happy to talk your ear off about the proper pad selection. I’m leaning towards them when I swap the rotors out on mine. I need more stop but don’t want noise or dust so that’s a lot to ask at these weight and power levels.

 

[XYZ3]

The Z23 vs Z36 article provided by Tytek states that the Z36 produces more dust than the Z23. “…more sound and brake dust…”

Thanks for the advice on simply checking the website…haha…sorry…yeah the website shows the part number as Z23-1053B. Problem solved.

Also, EBC is a sponsor. I have their front pads but need the rears so I can install

 

[Tytek]

I should also say that my only dislike of the Z36 pad is how they behave when wet and cold. Initial bite is inconsistent and as a result they pull to one side for a quick sec when braking hard (that’s how I brake most often).
