Brake pads POWER STOP or OEM Mazda
I have this set on my 19 accord going on a year and half around 25k miles zero issues with them.
Secondary Update. I ordered the matching PowerStop Z26 rears, and they also have no clunk and fit well! The pads feel meh until you bed them in. After that they feel great! Slightly less initial bite than OE, but the pedal is much more linear, making it easier to come to a smooth stop at lights. Overall for less than $100 for a front and rear set you\u2019d be hard pressed to find a better pad for daily duty plus a little fun on the side.
Power Stop Z36, it made my 02 F350 feel like my 2014 Mercedes.
Powerstop easily shortened my braking distance by 30%. 100% recommend.
I've been using Powerstop brakes for years, and haven't had any mechanical problems. My only issue (and this is a personal one) is that the thick rubber backing makes the pedal feel a bit spongy.
Happy to report that the Powerstop Z23 front pads don\u2019t shift at all. Very solid and tight in there!
I just did brakes with: Powerstop Evolution Sport, Drilled/Slotted Discs, Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Pad Part Kit#: P15K5305, Mach V Techna-Fit SS Lines, Motul DOT 4 fluid. All for under $600 and I’ve been very happy with this setup. I don’t track but drive spirited and they’ve performed flawlessly, and no more brake dust.
I put the Geomet coated Powerstop rotor and ceramic pad front and rear kits from RockAuto on my ‘14 XT. They work well and my speed demon wife liked them better than the originals.
Changed the pads front and rear was super easy and straight forward.Then after taking the car out of 'electric brake service mode' and starting the car I get the a yellow check engine light and code C05AB, clearing it made no difference. Only thing I could find online was "The electronically controlled brake unit detects that the pressure feed valve (primary side) is stuck ON (OPEN)."
Mazda brakes are notoriously shit. They’re garbage. Buy a set of PowerStop brakes and be done with it. They’re far superior to the Mazda brakes. Go on any forum and you’ll see countless people having the same issue as you. New brakes between 15-20,000 miles. Me included. I’ve owned 2 6s from new. Both needed brakes around 20,000 miles. Both times I put on PowerStops and never had another issue.
