Power Stop Drilled and Slotted Rotors with Carbon Ceramic Pads. I run them on my F30 and they are amazing. Much better than OEM definitely and they don’t really break the bank too bad.
I have the slotted and drilled Powerstop Z23 brake pads and rotors. No brake dust, grips hard, no warping, no sounds and great wear.
Switching to Centric rotors (Stoptech) and akebono pads. At first I thought the slight pulsing was warped rotors, but sanding the surface of the rotors, made it go away.
Replaced everything with PowerStop, no issues since.
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.
Before my StopTech BBK, I ran Centric high carbon blank rotors. They are affordable on Rock Auto, and lasted forever.
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.
I’m a big fan of centric brand rotors and pads. I’ve used their economy rotors with their premium pads and hardware kits on several cars with excellent results. My in-laws are known to ride on your bumper with enough room to catch a credit card between them and the car in front of them and they’ve had no complaints.
