So I ordered a pair of rear Stoptech Street Pads off of the Z1 website for my 2019 Q with Akebono brakes. Part number: 308.13470

When I opened the box, I noticed the pads were encased in a plastic with "Posi Quiet" stamped all over it. This threw me off immediately since I know for a fact that Posi Quiet pads and Stoptech Street pads are NOT the same pad. I called Z1 to inform them that I received the wrong pads and they mentioned to me that ALL of their Stoptech Street pad stock have the Posi Quiet pads in them. I knew this was a mistake on Stoptech's part so I gave Stoptech a call and spoke with a technical advisor. Sure enough, he spilled the beans and told me that some higher ups in the company decided to throw Posi Quiet pads in the Stoptech Street boxes. Perhaps because of supply shortages of the actual Stoptech Street pads. Despite the fact that he works at Stoptech, he did confirm that what they are doing is very wrong and deceiving.

With that said, can you guys recommend a pad just like the Stoptech Streets that I can go with? These pads were awesome. Sadly, I now need to find an alternative.

I recommend the NAPA Adaptive One brake pads for the Akebono Sport Brakes:

Front:

https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/ADOAD8457?impressionRank=16

Rear:

https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/ADOAD8458?impressionRank=13

Use code "TAKE10" to take 10% off and free shipping. I paired these with the Adaptive One J-Hook rotors when I sold-off my Stoptech BBK in preparation for sale of my Q. These pads provide great feedback, stopping power and are low dust.

Thanks for the recommendation. What did you get rid of the Q for?

Thanks for the recommendation. What did you get rid of the Q for?

I have an Ascari Blue '23 Audi RS5 Coupe w/Competition Package on-order. Should be delivered in late April/early May. My Q is posted for sale here on the forum and was on Autotrader, and if no bites, I'll either consign it locally or trade-it in when the RS5 arrives.

I have EBC red stuff front and rear. For aggressive street and track use go with the EBC Yellow stuff pads.
