Brake pads POWER STOP or OEM Mazda
I’ve got over 40,000 miles on my Powerstop drilled/slotted rotors and their pads. This is the second vehicle I’ve used them on. They improve stopping distance, almost no brake dust and they wear really well.
I replaced my front brakes with PowerStop products. Very happy with them after about 20,000 miles. No issues.
I really liked the power stop line on my drag car, so I did them on my wife's car to replace the Brembo pads and rotors and used them on my GC and have been very happy with their performance. used to throw the old car around the dragon in the NC mountains with a lot of quick heavy braking and never had fade. I have had them on both daily drivers for 6 years now.
I put a full set of power stop ceramic pads and their drilled rotors 40k miles ago, and they are still great as well.
I would rather save a bit and get similar performance and get the Power Stop Z26 carbon infused ceramic pads. If you don't track your car no need for anything higher end as you won't get anywhere near the temps for these to fade.
I did a similar Brand: Power Stop Z26 Streets and I think they’re fine. Anything will be better than the OEM padding/Rotor. Didn’t even flush brake fluid, they did take a few drives before fully losing the squeak/grind sound when approaching full stop even after doing required bedding process. I’m at 72k miles on 2019 3.3t
I have Power Stop Z23 Ceramic/Carbon Fiber pads, they are quiet and no dust. This is for my daily driven car, no track action.
I've got PowerStop stuff and man it is powerful. It is noisy for the first stop after a rain to burn the rust off the rotors, but that's it.
Seems a bit sus - but it's not unusual for rear pads to wear faster than front on certain cars. My Ford Flex and CX-50 both wear pads faster out back (it made sense on the Flex because of long wheelbase but was surprised the 50 did it too). That said they should last twice as long.
Rear with power stop ceramic pads top rotors fine, bottom OEM pads rotors screwed and feedback being felt all rotors replaced 2nd time at 20,000km good will and now 37,000km fronts are same old backs are fine.
