Hey everyone,
I recently picked up a 2021 Super Stock. On my last two Hellcats I replaced the Brembo brake pads with Powerstop pads. Changing the pads significantly cut down on the Brembo brake dust. Has anyone put Power stop pads on there Super Stock yet? If so, are they working out well for you?

You do not need them with the SS. It’s not like the Hellcat or Redeye brake systems. They do not produce the dust that those do. My Redeye was a nightmare from a brake dust perspective and the Super Stock barely creates any. Do as you wish, of course, but I found no need.

My super stock does produce a lot of dust. I have the pads but haven't put them on yet....on my to do list before I get it out in the spring.

That is very interesting that yours does! Or perhaps, that mine doesn’t. That was the one thing that really surprised me when I got the super stock.

It's not quite as bad as my SRT was but I'm guessing that's because the rotors aren't slotted. Definitely a lot more than any non-brembo car I've owned.

I was thinking about buy the entire Powerstop kit which includes front and rear pads, and front and rear rotors that are drilled and slotted. I like The pads based on past experience with dust control. As far as the rotors go…I just like the way that they look (sounds crazy). As far as the pads go, Z23 or Z26? Any recommendations on which make more sense for regular street use?

Not quite as bad because the pads are smaller.

So not worth the investment? Maybe I just need to drive it for a season and see how it goes before dropping the cash

I'm not sure what the SS has, but the Brembo 4-piston pads are a lot cleaner than the 6-piston. I've seen this over the years on multiple cars with Brembos.

Oh i’d def do the pads.

Theyre smaller, they’d have to be less dusty.

Z23 or Z26?

 

[baabootoo]

I think most use the Z26, with the Z23 having a different backing plate? Like was said, if you only have the 4-piston, they are clean enough already.
