POWER STOP › Brake pads

Trying_My_Mediocrest 22 Nov 2024, 22:13

Rating 4.0

Braking:

QuietCast pads are a solid choice. Centric is an OEM supplier and those are a fully coated rotor, so also a solid choice. If you want to spend a little extra, I’d go for Akebono pads. I ran their pad and rotor kit on my old Mazda 3 and they worked phenomenally but, ate through the pads pretty quick under normal city driving. No issues up until I sold the car.

Pros: phenomenal performance, solid choice

Cons: pads wear quickly

Vehicle: Mazda 3

Those should be a very good combo. I ran Centric rotors on my 2012 Gen2 with good results.

Pros: good results, good combo

Vehicle: Mazda 3

TRW › Brake pads

Braking:

I would recommend the TRW ultra pads from the official ZF store on eBay. $50 total for front and rear. They’re a tier 1 oem supplier, and the ultra line is their premium aftermarket offering. Similar to akebono and the pro act line which isn’t available for the 4th gen. The solid Bosch rotors would be a good choice. Centric as well.

Pros: premium aftermarket, good choice

Vehicle: Mazda 3

Bosch › Brake pads

Braking:

Honestly for everyday driving the Bosch and centric is a good combo. The powerstop are very grabby and have a bit more stopping power but it’s not worth the extra money, plus long term normal rotors are better. Drilled/slotted don’t have as much durability

Pros: Bosch and Centric good combo

Cons: Powerstop too grabby, expensive

Chips/cracks:

I have had 1 small chip in my 2013 Mazda 3. It happened in a construction zone and I was able to get it into safelite that same day and had the chip fixed within an hour. That one has stayed pretty good, but it is noticeable.

Pros: repair held well

Cons: chip noticeable
