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.
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.
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 bought the Power stop drilled and slotted rear rotors and ceramic brakes for my 2010 Titan. I think it's great. I bought the kit, 2 rotors and 2 sets of pads for around $170 off carparts.com.
FWIW - I purchased a complete set of PowerStop Slotted and Cross-Drilled rotors and included pads for my 14 TDI SE along with ECS Stainless brake lines. I also flushed the fluid. No noticeable difference at all. And one disappointment that really bothered me was during an event it felt like the rotors were warping very early on and I was afraid I was going to ruin them for the rest of the event. However, the pulsing settled down as I learned to go easier on them.
