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
I bought that centric kit for my 18 Mazda 3 last year, no issues.
Centric Posi Quiet Ceramics & 120 Series rotors from Tire Rack. Though not a CX5, my Mazda6 is running at 60k miles on this set.
Zimmerman Cross drilled rotors from FCP Euro with Centric posi quiet ceramic pads. So much less brake dust with these pads compared to stock.
Centric OE coated "black hat" rotors and Centric posi-quiet pads are pretty damn tough to beat
Over the weekend I finally got the brakes to cooperate, so it's just about time to get a few test runs in.
I've had Centric pads and rotors on the back (90944519) for 5 years and 40,000 miles. They're ok, but they're much noisier than OEM and tend to grab/groan at very low speed.
The only other good thing from this visit is that they measured the brake pad thickness which confirmed that I need to replace the pads soon. We are currently at 59k and the rears are in the red at 3mm while the front was at 5mm.
I had to replace my brakes early as well, and I was also past the extended warranty campaign.
The OEM brakes are a little meh as I’ve got the same noise issue as a lot of other Atlas owners have experienced.
