Got a link or part numbers?

I just purchased the z23 pads but do I need to change the rotors or is that just a dealer thing? I'm at 56k currently.

thanks

FWIW it seems like these pads only make noise when its cold outside. Once the weather warmed up here they were quiet as can be. Now that its cold again they are squeaking after sitting for a while.

Yup me too. Will get random squeaks. Funny it only happens in reverse, never in forward.

Exactly. Just weird..but little to no brake dust so I have accepted the trade off.

Some of the squeaking could be from light rust on the rotor while sitting. If mine sits for a couple days they squeak once backing out of he garage and then no more.

Anyone using this in winter? Appreciate feedback.

Winter here in Mid-A they are fine just noisey.

Noisy daily or on occasion. If so only when it snows and wet?

How about performance compared to stock in the cold?

Just a little squeal when it's cold and the car has been sitting. Pads are comparable to stock but I'm not an expert.

They stop the car but the only reason to get these is if you care about how much dust they throw. Night and day difference between these and the stock brembo pads.
