Centric Premium is my preferred brand, I have used them for years and they don’t warp.
Been running “Centric Posi Quiet Ceramic Brake Pads” since 2020 and nearly zero dust.
Ferodo DS2500 are a classic high performance street pad, every time I go through a set I am sure something better must have come along and do some market research, always end up back on the DS2500´s as an everday/occasional track pad. They are cheap and they last forever (really) relative to punishment taken, they are dusty though, that´s really my main issue with them.
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
If you can't find ceramic pads, get Ferodo Premium Eco Friction.
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.
Ferodo Ds2500 as brake pads or Ebc Yellostuff (a tad cheaper). Avoid drilled or grooved rotors because kinda useless. Just a good oem equivalent like Brembo (if in you market have CTF go for it)
i’ve ran ferrodo ds2500 on my gli, they worked well as a hybrid street/track pad but would fade a bit after a few hard sessions
I put some Ferodo DS2500s for a HPDE event at the end of July and noticed discoloration and crumbling on the edges. Swapped them out with PFC08s for this weekend’s HPDE and noticed chunks of material missing from the inner of the pad.
