I ordered Power Stop Z23-1656 rear pads since they were cheap enough to take the risk. I'll post here once I get them installed. I have read that they behave similar to OEM, but I don't think they handle as much abuse.
The only difference between M-Sport and M-Perf brakes are that the rotors are drilled and slotted. Everything else is the same size, etc. |

What I noticed last weekend was that the noise was totally gone by just replacing the front pads. It seems like the old pads for rear were not the ones that made noise. I ended up replaced the rear anyway as the old pads only had ~3mm left. |

Is the difference between M-Sport and M-Perf brakes are that the rotors are drilled and slotted only?
if yes, can we buy the M-Perf rotors and install to M-Sport brake? |

I used that article when I started on my brake pad hunt, and had even sent it to other vendors so they know. That said, I installed the Z26 Powerstop brake pads last night. The fit was spot on (man the rears were tight though) and I am so far very happy. For what its worth, I have the M-Performance brakes, and the two part numbers I had are front: Z261656 rear: Z261609B Right fit - check Quiet - check Low dust - will confirm in a few days |

I guess we were both doing the same thing last night. I installed the Power Stop Z23-1656 pads on the rear last night and bedded them. I really love how easy the M-Sport brakes are to change pads. It took me like 25 minutes to do both sides (now that I know which pin punch to use).
I have to say driving into work this morning had me feeling great. Instead of sounding like a runaway NY subway car making an emergency stop, it was pure silence at every stop light and stop sign. I think the silence was more satisfying than adding the JB4. Finally. So far I can't tell any difference in performance. Initial bite seems the same, but the fronts are still OEM so it is really hard to judge how the rear pads affect stopping. |

The rotor sizes vary due to the carrier, some like to call them "ears", built into the caliper. 4Cyl F3x msport used 340mm up front, while 6cyl F3x uses 370mm. F8x stock uses 380mm with the same caliper and carrier length, but mounted at an offset, from the center of the axel, on the upright, to fit 380mm rotors up front.

I changed both front and back and don't think the stopping power is worse than old pads for stop and go daily driving. I actually love the ability to smoothly come to a stop instead of the jerk stop that happened quite often before. Drove for a week and so far wheels still look clean. |

![]() A couple of notes: 1. My rear pads were SNUGGGGG. I mean I compressed the pistons very far and still had to work to get them in. 2. Love the hot swap of pads out of the backs of the calipers. |

My brakes are sinnngggging again. The lube/anti-squeal stuff I used + my ability to apply it appropriately must not be up to the job. I picked up a different anti-squeal and will take another crack at it over the next few days.
So at least there is no brake dust on my wheels when everyone stares at the car due to the incredibly loud squeal ![]() |

I wonder what could be the difference.... I did spend some time using brake cleaner and lots of paper towels to clean up the calipers contact area before I lube the calipers, the pins, the retaining plates, and pads. I am assuming you did the same.... |
