I replaced the pads on with Endless MX-72. Similar progressive bite to OEM, just more and WAY more thermal capacity. They feel like the ultimate brake pad. Using OEM rotors, I've had zero \"warping\" since switching over. This leads me to think that the rotors aren't actually warping but the nature of the OEM pads leads to pad deposits on the rotors. I get close to 60,000 Miles out of a set and have never considered another pad after discovering them.
So far I've spent 400€ on brakes, 100€ new battery, 1200€ on axles and other components related to them and maybe 150€ on oil and filters (2 oil changes so far)
I just put on some Endless MX72s. But they are for performance street and occasional track use. And they are not cheaper or probably less noise. But I do expect a great deal better wear with them than stock.
Not cheap, but Endless makes perfect street pads that last a long time, are quiet, very little dust, good cold bite, and high coefficient of friction and heat range.
I bought some Endless SS-Y's from FR-sport and they're way better than the stock pads in every way. They don't even cause dust.
Back in March I got fed up with the B5 platform shenanigans and started shopping for a Subaru... Upon entering the Mazda dealer, I got the typical \"We don't have the exact one you want in manual, but we do have this...\" and I decided to humor the salesman. Lo and behold, a 2012 Mazdaspeed 3 appeared before me... With 263 ponies and 280 ft/pounds of I could dead, the MS3 has proven itself to be the best possible car that a 23 year old male could own.
On a positive note- the brakes were sporty car firm and easy to modulate even with these tires.
