Gadgetjq Posted June 2, 2019 Report Share Posted June 2, 2019 I've read a lot on this forum about 'grabby' brakes, particularly on the early Gen2 Edge. A replacement brake booster was installed for those who complained. I'm not experiencing that 'throw passengers through the windshield during high speed deceleration' issue but do have a minor concern I'm hoping someone can help solve. My brakes tend to be grabby at very low speeds, I.E. stop and go or creeping up to the drive-through window at the local In-n-Out Burger. My son was with me a couple of days ago and commented "still getting used to the brakes?" as we inched our way to the bag of tasty grub. Maybe that's some of the issue but not all of it. These brakes are almost like an on/off switch when the Edge is creeping and I'm thinking it has something to do with the pads. My Edge is a '16 built past the May 'affected vehicles' date' so probably not the booster issue. I'm hoping someone has discovered an aftermarket brake pad that's a little more forgiving in this situation. Recommendations eagerly awaited! Cheers!

Bfazona Posted June 2, 2019 Report Share Posted June 2, 2019 Power Stop Z23 Evolution. I have them on all three of my vehicles and have been very happy. Great price, no dust and perform very well. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gadgetjq Posted June 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 Thanks BFAzona, I've seen those pads (and discs) recommended before and will check them out. Your feedback is appreciated. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lildisco Posted June 3, 2019 Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 (edited) I have the z23 pads on Centric Premium blank rotors. There is brake dust, but isn't terrible like the factory equipment. Usually on the 1st stop or 2 of the day, it'll be a smidge grabby, but not terrible. Great setup honestly. Stopping performance has greatly improved & i can stomp the brakes (emergency situation) & not have to worry about warpage or being able to stop in time. I also did NOT have the TSB done for the brake booster. Here's my thread: Edited June 3, 2019 by lildisco 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
