Personally I use power stop pads and rotors even beyond Mazdas all my cars have power stop brake components.
Powerstop are great brakes. Been using them since they first came out. Rotors don't rust and practically no brake dust. On top of the better braking performance they give you, and the price is right.
using the powerstops rn since September, best set i’ve had since my OEM when i first got my q.
I ran these on my Genesis and do recommend doing the bed in process they have in the packaging. They’ve lasted me almost 5 years so far on that car. The only thing I’d say beyond that is try to get the coated ones as the plain silver will rust within days of being installed and change the hub to an ugly orange.
Autozone has the full kit. Just changed mine not too long ago and they are great so far.
My Sport M6 just hit 1000 miles and I was already so sick of brake dust on the rear wheels I installed a set of Power Stop ceramics. The job took less than an hour using OBD11 to put the calipers into service mode. I decided to do it early before the rotors experienced unparallel wear to the OEM semi-metallic pads.
Powerstop works better than Bosch in my opinion for brakes, but I would see if you could find regular rotors instead of the drilled & slotted ones. Drilled & slotted rotors are only worth paying for if you plan on abusing your cars brakes.
QuietCast pads are a solid choice. Centric is an OEM supplier and those are a fully coated rotor, so also a solid choice. If you want to spend a little extra, I’d go for Akebono pads. I ran their pad and rotor kit on my old Mazda 3 and they worked phenomenally but, ate through the pads pretty quick under normal city driving. No issues up until I sold the car.
In my experience, I went like 70k miles on the factory brakes. I then went with various rock auto/duralast/car quest rotors and pads over the years and they all sucked longevity wise. Maybe half the life. Warped quickly, reduced bite sometimes
I bought power stop brakes and I wasn\u2019t happy even thought they\u2019re a popular brand that people like. The metal clips for the brakes rubbed against the rotors and the rotors rust almost immediately after I stop driving. Second time I ordered centric brakes and they\u2019re awesome.
