Thumbs up for power stop Z26 drilled/slotted rotors plus matching pads. Following the recommendation of the brotherhood I upgraded my 30 years old stock brake system and it works great. No noise (I mean NO) and very little brake dust (yet more than on quality ATE Ceramic Pads). Brake dust is grey so you don't recognize it too much on argent wheels.

Brake force is good, yet the modulation can not keep up with modern cars to my opinion. You get what you pay for, i.e. heavy brake power will need heavy leg power as input, still. Neither is it as sensitive / giving good feedback like a modern brake. But the overall stopping power is great and does THE BEAST justice.

Braided hoses probably improve the feel. They're on my list.
