I was quoted 1200 to change my brake pads on my ND. Did it myself of course but it was funny to find out what the dealership wanted.
Took the car in for a service , got a work car and it's been driving the Rx much less. I wouldn't have done it all at once, so did a service, replaced brake pads.
I replaced the pads only to reduce brake dust (Centric Posi-Quiet).
I got my 2015 M3 2.5, 3 years ago with 30k Miles, now at 150k miles I have gone thru a lot of maintenance items. Additionally, my 15’ M3 GTS is “Made in Japan” not in Mexico, (some parts are actually different, Like my brake pads!) I attribute this to having a better built car.
Install these. You will be glad you did....reduces brake dust by 90%. No difference in performance. I am 15K miles into mine and love these pads.
I have the Centric Posi-Quiet on our Atlas - the most dust-free pad I've ever used but of course that comes at the price of not being able to handle heat.
Centric ceramic brake pads.
i remember hearing a guy complain about his cx5 eating through brakes, but the cx5 is the same car as my mazda3, and my mazda3 has seen 70,000km for its rear brake pad/ 90,000km for the fronts, and I drive a mix of city/highway.
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.
easy 40 minute job to replace brakes on my 14 Mazda 3 took about two hours. It all pops off super easy going great. Go to put them on, well shit they don't fit. Try the other side for some reason thinking I'm just having a stupid moment. Doesn't work either.
