Have a 21 TNG with black Brembo. (Still don’t know what the difference is). Iv searched and have seen mixed posts. I’m gonna assume these brakes are the correct replacement for the current ones.

Brakes for TNG

If you change pad materials you should probably change rotors too... or at the very minimum you will need to bed the new pads in. That will hopefully help the full surface of the new pads start to take the shape of the worn rotors, but it will also distribute a fresh coating of the new pad material onto the rotor surfaces. It's actually this film on pad material that gives disc brakes the power we expect. I've also heard cases where the new pad materials were actually incompatible with the old pads and it causes the new pads to wear down almost immediately.

You should bed new pads regardless of whether or not you replace the rotors.
Not good to post "I heard info" First hand experience from me. Swapped pads at 19K highway miles, the brembos had plenty of pad material left the dust was an issue and reason for my pad swap. Its been 10K miles no squealing and brake performance feels the same the wagner pads are holding up great. I'm not sure what all this chatter about surface material being left on the rotor is about and how it could wear a pad out, when you bed them it will re surface the rotor. Good example is when your vehicle sits the rotor gets a lot of surface rust within 10miles its polished clean from braking.
Brembo brake pads for SRT & TNG (alternate pad choice)
I'm posting this because I've seen LOTS of threads and comments on the stock pads for the Brembo brakes and the excessive dusting. I believe I have alternative brake pads other than the PowerStop Z23 & Z26 but I haven't seen them mentioned. I've been using Raybestos Element3 Hybrid pads on my...

my info on post #16
The Powerstop Brake pads do not have the same brake pedal feel/ response that the OEM Brembo Brake Pads provide.
I will never use Powerstop Brake pads with OEM Brembo Brakes ever again.
I drive performance vehicles and don't care about brake dust.

I respect others' opinions and concerns, and can see how lots of brake dust might drive one crazy, but I'm in this camp, where I just don't care and actually expect it on a performance vehicle. Just my personal opinion.
Yes I remember reading that, its so far out of context he was in a race car on a race track and showed pictures of the brake pad melted and the cracked rotor due to heat with brake pads worn down to metal they were some new type of EBC pad that was given to him to test. There could have been other factors the caliper piston could have been forced out due to boiling fluid and its like driving with the brakes on good way to cook off pad material. Bottom line is I swapped mine based on about 10 other members that did the same at the 5k to 20k mileage and haven't heard or noticed any issues and my rims look great...
