Brake pads Akebono or OEM Mazda
I have Akebono's on the rear of my R. VERY low dust from both.
I always buy akebono ceramic pads. They are made in japan and are great quality for the price. Dead silent too.
I prefer non-OEM pads (Akebono) so I go with my Indy for that, though the value service pricing is super competitive and honestly impossible for Indys to really match? $99 oil change is so low margin
I use Brembo rotors and Akebono pads.
Best combo I've found so far
I'm going with Akebono ProACT for less dust.
Akebono is Toyota OEM, plus they're the best pads on the market in my opinion, super quite and the dust is super fine
I used the Akebono pads because Scotty Kilmer recommended them and they are made in America. No complaints so I’ll probably buy them again.
My preference is either OEM, or Brembo rotors and Akebono pads. I have had good performance on multiple cars with the Akebono ProACT ceramic pads.
My cx9 was at 3mm on the rears at 52k. Get a caliper compression kit and it yourself. It's not very hard. I did my rears a month back in my driveway for $130.
I put OEM Brakes on my ‘19 3 GT AWD. I’m 20K KM into them, and they pulse like mad when I brake above 90KM/h. Absolute fucking trash. The factory brakes also did this, above 90KM, but started around 50K into their life.
