I went with Raybestos rotors and Bosch QuietCast pads. Equal if not better than OEM and much much cheaper.
Pros: better than OEM, cheaper
So I followed their direction and jumped on the old interwebs to my retailer of choice, RockAuto, and ordered Bosch pads and rotors front and back. So I had nothing planned for the weekend figured I would do a little wrenching. Take the wheels off and start to unbolt the caliper, looked down and my rear pads still show about half life. Maybe they just meant the fronts, pop the wheel and they are showing even less wear. My question is it normal for the CX-5 to go 80000 miles on the original pads? I didn't think I drove like my grandmother but it is 70% highway/non city driving. For anyone that does your own maintenance the cost for 4 rotors and pads was less than $200 (Raybestos Element 3 rotors and Bosch Quiet Cast ceramic pads). It really a fairly easy job, and would not take more than 30 minutes per wheel.
Pros: easy installation, low cost
Cons: premature wear?

I’ve had stock set up, powerstop rotors with Hawk LTS Truck/SUV pads, and my current set up is Bosch severe duty pads with Advics premium rotors. So far the current set up is my favorite. I really prefer the immediate “bite” of semi metallic pads.
Pros: good bite, favorite setup
In comparison to the stock setup, the Bosch QuietCast pads and rotors aren't as touchy or responsive. They do require a little bit more pedal travel for normal stopping power. However, they do offer more precise control over how much power is applied throughout the pedal stroke. They are also incredibly quiet and smooth.
Pros: precise control, quiet, smooth
Cons: more pedal travel, less responsive

I've been doing my own brake job for a while and have used Bosch QuietCast rotors and Bosch QuietCast Premium Disc brake pads, both purchased from Amazon. No complaints.
Pros: no complaints, good quality
Just replaced all four brake pads and rotors on my 2018 MZ3 hatch with 46,000 miles. Used Bosch quiet cast brake pads and rotors. Paid around $350 for parts and took me around three hours.
Pros: relatively inexpensive, quick installation

I change brakes at least yearly, sometimes more often if I'm driving in mountainous areas alot. I always buy the Bosch ceramic brakes and just buy the low cost rotors because I change them at every brake change (cheaper than having them turned in Phoenix). I buy everything off Amazon. A four wheel brake job will cost me less and $100. 2019 LE.

I've been using the Bosch QuietCast ceramic brakes in the past and have zero complaints so I think I'll go with these: BOSCH BC1212 QuietCast; Ceramic - Rear ($26.79) BOSCH BC2076 QuietCast; Ceramic - Front ($37.79) I'm looking for high quality/high value. I don't need "high performance", I'm not doing any track stuff, just basic commuting but would like longevity, value, performance, etc. I ended up getting: POWER STOP JBR1763SCR (Daily Driver) Semi-Coated - Front BOSCH BC2076 (Premium) QuietCast; Ceramic POWER STOP JBR1764SCR (Daily Driver) Semi-Coated - Rear BOSCH BC1212 (Premium) QuietCast; Ceramic It was around 260 dollars with tax and shipping.
Pros: high quality, high value, long lasting
