I originally installed the powerstops in 2018 they have lasted around 93k miles.
They have great bite, are quiet, and have very little dust. I do wear my pads out faster than most, but that's because 28 miles of my 52 mile round trip commute are on mountain roads and I do drive pretty hard. So far, I have not warped the rotors(did that with other stock style rotors).
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.
I am currently running Powerstop Trackday Spec pads on track and OEM pads on the street. I usually swap pads the weekend before, or sometimes even the night before my trackdays. Swapping pads only takes me maybe an hour, if that much, so it’s really no big deal to swap them in and out for trackdays. The Powerstop pads are definitely lacking bite at street temperatures but I wouldn’t say they are dangerous to drive with.
If that quote is just for pads, it's not a ripoff. it's criminal!!! Do yourself a favor and buy powerstop, install them yourself, and save a fortune. Scat brakes are ridiculously easy to work on.
