I just installed the z36 pads and rotors. Stopping power on break in procedure felt good even in the wet. Don’t have many miles on them yet. But, that may change soon for a road trip. Definitely noticed immediate improvement over worn oem pads. But, probably would have had similar improvement with Akebono or other pads too.
Need to do brake fluid flush and further adjustment to parking brake as well. Probably tomorrow or this weekend.
