Brake pads POWER STOP or Mintex
RockAuto has Powerstop pads and rotors for a good price and they're a good product. Swapped to Powerstop pads (still on stock rotor, they're in great shape still at 30k miles) and it was a huge performance improvement over the Jurid ones
I had Powerstop brakes on my 2018 Audi A5 Sportback. I thought they worked great, never had any issues.
I too use PowerStops in my 2015 Mazda 3 s GT and 2017 CX-9 GT. Second set in my Mazda 3. They are superior to the OEM and cost ~$200 + tax for both axels including pads, rotors, all hardware and lubricant. Surfacing the old rotors is not worth it.
I replaced brakes on my wife’s CX5 for about $200 in PowerStop parts. Easy peasy.
I use powerstop ceramic and love them. I also have the slotted and dried rotors. Far superior than stock.
I’ve had the powerstop pro ceramics and their rotors since I bought my JK in 2012. Replaced with same, never an issue
They have been great. Quiet, I like the pedal feel, they stop the truck well, no dust.
I’ve had powerstop z36 rotors and carbon pads on 2 trucks so far and I haven’t had a single issue with the pads, and no brake dust is nice too.
I replaced the rears with Mintex pads and still I get more dust on the rear wheels, but not as much as the VW stock pads.
My Mintex Redboxes are ALSO not LOW DUST as claimed by the company. IMO, they dust much more than OEM pads. My Long Beaches always turn gunmetal after 2 or 3 days of daily commuting. Also, the brake pads gives off an unpleasant smell, but not a big issue.
