Which Power Stop?
Which Power Stop brake pads do you guys use for street driving, Z23 or Z26? I do not track my car. Also, should I have rotors resurfaced with 14,000 miles on car?

According to this thread, the only difference between the two is the backing material on the pad. I went with the Z26 because it's a minimal cost difference.

If you haven't had any brake issues and don't track the car, I can't imagine you'll need any rotor work after that few miles. Just pop 'em in.

Anybody know who’s got the best prices? Also on their web site they ask if you have co-cast or full cast rotors, how do you know which you have? My car is an early build 2014.

Watch Amazon...their prices sometimes take a huge dip. I got the rotor and pad kit for under $390...(today its $609).
You need to let us know if you are a StingRay or a Z51 - if you are a 2014 Z51 (like me) and you want both rotors and pads - you will need this kit cause you have the 2-piece rotor (early original design):

Power Stop K6532-26 Z26 Street Warrior
If you just want pads (again if your a Z51) then here are the product numbers:

I bought the Z26 before I knew the Z23 even existed, based on positive feedback at the time (two years ago). I have had no issues and recommend them for street use.
