I threw that same combination on my genesis coupe to replace the brembos. This is probably a better brake set up and much cheaper, I beat the crap out of it on multiple track days with next to no fade.
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.
Pagid is one of the industry leaders in brakes. They have other single piece cast rotors in the $100/ea range, just make sure you stick with something that uses a high carbon alloy. There's nothing wrong with going single piece, Stoptech's performance rotors are just drilled and slotted Centric high carbon single piece rotors. If you're going to keep the car long enough to realistically think you'll change the rotors again, then FCP Euro for the lifetime warranty. I've run Stoptech Sports and they're fantastic but make a fair amount of noise at the end of their life and expensive now.
I have the slotted and drilled Powerstop Z23 brake pads and rotors. No brake dust, grips hard, no warping, no sounds and great wear.
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 stop tech on all my cars, kind of spongy at the very top but other than that they bite hard.
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.
My power stop rotors lasted about 8 months before warping. Had the bright idea that I could save a few bucks putting them in for a few years before doing the tundra swap.
