Count me as a fan of the Powerstop Z36 as well. I had an 04 before buying my 18 FX4. With the 04 more boot to the brake pedal meant faster stopping. I was disappointed in my 18 because it seemed to stop on its own time. Brake fell was not very progressive. I found myself not getting stopped in time so I had to adjust. I also had the early cut away rear pads. They were toast at 35k miles. After two failed attempts to get the rear rotors to stay true I binned everything for the K36 kit. Couldn’t be happier. No noise, little dust, lots of stopping power. Have about 60k miles on the K36s.Nice guide!
Powerstop Z36 are a nice towing upgrade, for those of us towing.
I just ordered the rear rotors and pads from AAP. The guy said the pads are from Akebono. $210 with coupon and I'm looking to install them this week.I didn't have time to be picky, so I just went with the painted Carquest rotors from Advance Auto and the Carquest Gold pads:
So far, so good.
The fourth generation does not have a separate pad for the electric parking brake.What about e-brake shoe pads? How often should they be replaced? I’m about to install Z36 pads and rotors. Haven’t inspected them but wondering if it should be replaced. 2016 with 140k miles. Braking good. I adjusted ebrake once but they always seem to go a long way to get them to bite.
Did you get this figured out? Its really not that big of a deal. Through various streams of distractions and failures, I thought mine was in maint mode, but it wasn't. Really simple to just pull the cylinder out of the caliper completely, manually screw the plunger back it, finagle the rubber boot back around the cylinder, and bleed the brakes. Not the worst mistake that can be made.So I did an oopsie and did not know about parking brake maintenance mode. I failed to put it in parking brake maintenance mode and now it is too late. Does anyone know how to retract the parking brake at this point? The one time I don't do my research first...
