Brakes

I have power stop z23 pads and rotors kit on my outlander GT that my wife drives does anybody use these or recommend them for sho's

Meh. I like the rotors. I would use the Ford PP pads. The power stops can fade under hard braking so I use similar on my truck (and have experienced fade on that vehicle under emergency braking but good daily regular response) but I would not use them on a performance vehicle that had a TT augmented go pedal.

Depends on how you drive. That kit is amazing value for most drivers. I tend to come into corners too fast on twisty roads so I use EBC yellow pads and EBC rotors. They stop hard enough to lock the wheels.

both recommendations above are solid. I wish we had Ford performance pad options with our Edge/MKX vehicles

Planning to go with the EBC myself.

No regrets with EBC. I had powerstops on my mustang and they were great until I drove fast in a mountainous region. The rotors were fine but the pads were destroyed. I ended up trying a few different brands before deciding EBC should take my money.

Is the pad fitment the same for PP and non-PP? Summit has red stuff pads, but doesn't call out whether it is for the PP. I think the difference in the Ford pads is the material they use for PP pads.

 

[SHOdded]

Yes fitment is the same, but swept area is slightly different (at least on EBC Redstuff PP vs nonPP for Gen 4).

I used the ebc PP pads on a non PP, no issues.

EBC has really cool pad/rotor kits... Stage 4 Signature Disc Brake Kit. It uses the Red Stuff ceramic pads. I always get the Red Stuff pads, very low dust and rotor friendly.

Does EBC list different pads for the PP?

Pg 190, lines 46-47 Does not specify PP or nonPP I don't think

Based on this http://buyebcbrakes.com/ebc-brakes/ebc-brake-pads-redstuff/dp33019c/i-2267835.aspx

the pads are basically for the PP, maxed out the swept area.

I chatted with the UK website and they said they only list the one pad for the PP and non-PP SHOs.
