My Yukon is more of a family hauler/ daily driver but i do have the 22 inch wheels. I usually am in the opinion of better to have and not need it, then need it and not have it. All the threads i have been reading seem to be stating to me that the daily driver powerstop kit z23 is more than enough.
Needing to replace brake pads- Are the z36 overkill if you don't really tow?

from the Silverado forum..
he Z36 does offer about 25-30% more stopping power than stock, while the Z23 is good for about 15-20% better than stock.
So it really comes down to what you feel comfortable with..

carbon fiber+ceramic = noise and dust
you have to take the good with the bad I suppose
good luck, power stop brakes are good but a person "might" consider that brakes are a wear item so I buy the duralast premium ceramic, no dust, no noise and lifetime warranty.
one time purchase and I never have to pay for pads ever again as long as I have a vehicle that those pads fit.
I wear brakes out faster than most people so perhaps my opinion is skewed. I did not like the noise and dust of the carbon fiber, did it brake better? meh maybe a smidge if anything.
I do use there rotors on a couple vehicles, no complaints they hold up well, the ones I use are made from g3000 iron

I have the powerstop z23 rotors and pads, and I tow a lot. They’re excellent and in my opinion the z36 aren’t worth the added cost.
Had a panic stop a couple of years ago on I-95 when a car careened from the far right lane to the left lane where I was after being rear-ended by a truck. To this day I don’t know how I missed hitting that guy but I credit the z23 brakes with helping my wife, daughter, and me avoid disaster.
that's one design they use because some drilled rotors are prone to developing cracks, not that it's necessarily any "better design"

What was wrong with the brakes that came on the truck?
have 97K and still on original brakes. had the truck serviced and report showed it was down to the last 4 mm on the brakes. just want to replace to be on the safe side and if i can put something better on it since i intend to keep it.
