Glad I came across this thread. Was just looking into doing the front brakes here soon. Looks like PowerStop is the go to.

This combo offers great stopping power, low dust, great looks, and is long lasting! They are also double coated! Meaning they are machined then coated then machined again for the drilled holes and slots like all other rotors BUT then coated AGAIN so the holes and slots are also coated which is exclusive for us!

I went this route, like a few others. Work quite well, not disappointed. Better than factory.

Installed Raybestos EHT Element 3 hybrid pads.
Quiet and they stick good..
Mix of ceramic and semi metallic..
Love them

I tried these with the factory rotors, which were still good at the time. I could not tell the difference between them and stock pads. That is good and bad, IMO; good that they worked decent, but bad that I did not get any increase over stock. However, they are what I would term a "budget" pad, so they are good for what you pay. (Only paid $50 for the fronts back in 2016).

@jasonw.

I have to say these pads stop and bite much better than the stockers. I just installed 35s and noticed a significant difference.

However the stockers were coming down to the end... So a fresh set of pads does the trick...

I do notice much better dust control..
