For shocks themselves I went with Bilstein B4, also at 120kish and also for no reason as my stock shocks were fine, but they are also problem free at 155k
I got Mazda 2 2013 and just had a replacement for both front brake pads and discs - $330 for the parts. $120 for labour.
My 12 of this generation is at 222k miles with just oil changes and tires as well. One set of pads and rotors at 175k and still had life left.
I put powerstops on my 2018 touring. Have had zero issues.
So I decided to I replaced my spark plugs. There was a ton of carbon build up in the first cylinder, and oil on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th spark cylinders, including the spark plugs. It’s running way smoother now but there is still some jerking but it’s not as violent as before.
I would always go Bosch. Last longer in my experience.
I've heard good things about Akebono pads, but I'm curious how they compare to other options (Bosch QuietCast, PowerStop, Raybestos, etc.)
Centric GCX.
I'm running Bridgestone re71r on my daily driver. Even with the low power and light weight I'm already down to 5/32 out of 8 after 4 months.
I just got my first experience on the Toyos this morning in some snow here in Virginia. The Toyos were really pretty awful :-(. They're fine for getting going and driving around - in fact, even starting off a hill was really no issue, but God help you if you have to stop quickly...because they wont. It was a slide-fest even with just a thin layer of snow.
