So I ended up ordering the Powerstop Z23 Carbon fiber ceramic (base) front brake pads and installed them today. Pretty much like replacing any other brake pads. Remove caliper/compress pistons & install new pads. I spent more time polishing the rotor hub and cleaning the calipers than actually swapping the pads. After install I did set the parking brake before touching the brake pedal and starting the car. Brakes feel good, much less grabby than the stock pads.... smoother stopping. FYI car had just a little over 27k miles..mostly city driving.
