Brake pads POWER STOP or OEM Mazda
I have these on my lifted jeep on 35s (the tow and haul model) and they the best stock size brakes you can get without having to get a big brake kit from mopar.
I just installed PowerStop z23 kit myself. The breaks are great plenty of stopping power but the initial bite of the pads are different. Also almost no brake dust.
Last one lasted me 70k miles roughly. Rotors and pads. Solid choice.
Put them on my Mercedes back in September. Absolutely no complaints. Plus way less brake dust.
I redid all four on my 2014 A4 allroad. There was. Virtually no brake dust and no squeak or squeal with excellent stopping power.
Ya I had them on my a3 and it was dramatic difference than oem. Only down side is slotted and drilled make noise when you brake hard with them.
Replaced the pads on my Audi A4 with powerstop, and they're a big upgrade. Significantly less brake dust from the OEM too.
I have used the power stop Z36 pads with drilled and slotted rotors on the last 3 trucks I’ve had. I love them. I tow a 8-12k pound dump trailer pretty regularly and have never had an issue. Even with the added weight, they still outlast and outperform OE style by a long shot.
oem brake pads are ceramic (low noise, low dust, minimal rotor wear, less bite)
I put a set of power stops on the wife’s SUV the weekend before we got married. They lasted maybe 12,000 miles? Maybe less? They warped and started chattering something awful. Wound up doing rotors, pads and calipers on all four wheels: Raybestos coated rotors and heavy duty pads, haven’t had a problem since.
