Get a set of Centric PQ (posi-quiet) pads and rotors. Way better than any of the big chain brick and mortar store offerings for less $ too
Pros: better than chain store offerings
I bought that centric kit for my 18 Mazda 3 last year, no issues.
Pros: no issues
Vehicle:

Zimmerman Cross drilled rotors from FCP Euro with Centric posi quiet ceramic pads. So much less brake dust with these pads compared to stock.

Coming from stoptech sports. I got dba sport sp. ceramic pads. Same feel but no dust!
Pros: same feel, no dust
Centric OE coated "black hat" rotors and Centric posi-quiet pads are pretty damn tough to beat

DBA pads and slotted rotors From knsbrakes.com. Came in at $1,080 delivered last year. Completely eliminated the shudder with the stock brake pads and the slotted rotors look awesome.
Pros: eliminated shudder, awesome look
DBA Sport. Heaps less dust than oem.
Pros: less dust

Cons: didn't like at first

I installed rear DBA ceramic pads and rear TRW ceramic discs last weekend and after a week I’m seeing these aggressive scratch channels circled in red. I do hear a constant scraping while driving without braking.
