A little upgrade

Now with 120K on the odometer doing some maintenance. Powerstop Z23 kit all around with slotted drilled rotors and ceramic pads also a rear shock replacement with 2 Monroe OEspectrums. Figured the OEM rotors are pretty much done for. Never had Powerstop before will chime in on the braking.

Ok got them broken in. Better more progressive braking not touchy or grabby at all. The more they get used the better the brake feel. No shuddering at all after repeated hard braking,

Notice any wet weather performance issues or improvements?

No issues in the rain, I have ultra high performance tires as well. No issues dry or wet in braking performance.

Still stock calipers or did you upgrade them too? I've been meaning to do this to mine too.

Hi Lt Leary, I kept the stock calipers since they seemed to be in good operational condition. Cleaned them up and greased up the caliper slider pins.

These brakes are really good. When I get into other cars I am surprised at the longer brake distances. Well besides the Z.
