Just wondering if you guys have tried the PowerStop Z23 pads for the front or if you have a good alternative to the EBC in ceramic.I like the EBCs but they are a bit pricey by the time I can get them to Canada.They sure are a great deal(EBCs) if you live in US.Akebono has them but only for the rear.

Thanks

John, take a look at Rockauto.com to pick up part numbers for your car for different brands of ceramic pads. They'll have a lot of different pads listed for your car.

On my 2005 W12, I used the Powerstop front and rear since they were given to me by my local rep. I can't speak to the caparison vs OE pads because my 05 needed brakes when I purchased it. I put new pads and rotors all the way around before I put mile 1 on that car. One reason I never use OE pads is because of the brake dust. I wash my car at least once a week but don't want to wash her every 3 days.

I used Akebonos on my D2 and they were great.

I have Powerstops front and rear on my 09 W12, which were again donated by my parts rep. Happy with them. No dust compared to OE.

To eliminate brake dust issues, I use Wagner Thermo-quiet pads. The friction material just doesn't show up on wheels. I have no idea why.
