2017 RTL-E, 58k miles, and among it's many issues is a need for brake pads and likely rotors. I've had the grabbing/pulsing brake issue for awhile, dealership suggested turning rotors but I'd rather just replace. I've searched the other threads in both G1 and G2 and haven't seen a ton of review. OEM pads and rotors are somewhere around $475 after shipping (bernardi). I was never very impressed with the OEM brakes in the first place, so i've narrowed other options down to:
Powerstop z23 -$300
Powerstop z36 - $335
Stoptech street pads/rotors - $411/$455 depending on rotor (slotted vs drilled/slotted)
I've read a lot of good things on other truck forums about both sets of powerstops. I don't do any towing, but have been known to load the truck down with mountain bikes, camping gear, and multiple people for long trips. I'm leaning towards the z23's, but would I notice a big performance boost from the z36?
I've also seen people say good things about the stoptech pads as well. EBC are north of $700 for all for corners, more than I want to spend.
