Buy a set of PowerStops and call it a day.
I’ve done this on both my 6s and never looked back.
Switch to powerstops and you are set for the next 50k miles (depending on your driving style/conditions). My OEM rotors warped around 16k miles, dealer resurfaced and it warped again at 20 something. Replaced with another new set of OEM rotors which too warped before my car hit 30k miles. I followed other lads on mazda6club forum and switched to Powerstops and it is still going strong at 62k miles.
I use Powerstop rotors with akebono pads and works better than OEM in my opinion. I don't like Powerstop pads because they have a break in procedure whereas akebono does not.
I put them on my truck first for better braking while towing and was so impressed with them that I put a set on my wife's rx350 as well just because they feel so much better than stock, IMO. They are outstanding. They just feel more robust/solid under heavy braking vs. stock.
These ATE PowerDisc includes front brake discs, front brake pads and sensor; and I am pleased with them.
Powerstop rotors and pads. Stocks where starting to squeak so upgrade time. Definitely a difference in stopping power
I put in the powerstop z36 drilled and slotted rotors last spring, and I think they're pretty darn good. Great stopping power, and make me feel totally in control of towing my car trailer.
For my rear rotors I used Power stop Evolution cross drilled and slotted rotors and EBC Redstuff pads. They've been great.
I did ATE disc's and Bosch ceramic pads. Was the cheapest for stock replacement while getting good quality.
As for slotted rotors like the ATE Power discs, they look kind of cool, but for most people they don't have much advantage beyond that.
