Brake pads POWER STOP or STOPTECH
I've been very happy with them on the street. I hardly ever notice dust. When it's cold they sometimes squeak getting out of the driveway, but never more.
I’m loving my powers too ceramic pads… the reduction in break dust is awesome
I have stoptech "performance brake pads" on my front and rear. Feels like OEM but more dusty
I’m happy with my PowerStops
For rotors just get fully coated blanks on RockAuto. For pads, I’ve had really good results with the PowerStop Z23 pads. Very affordable, zero brake dust, and they’ll hold up to everything except an actual track day. I’ve also had Redstuff pads on my previous car, and feel like these are equivalent.
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.
I got powerstop brakes and rotors but not exactly those. I'm mostly happy with them but they suck little bit when it's pretty hot with the Texas heat for me
I installed Stop Techs in my 2016 WRX at around 10,000kms. Didn't notice much difference. Hated them, squeked a bit when new. But they left brown dust on my nice clean gold rims and I hated that. Swapped the stockers back in and again didn't notice much difference in stopping, maybe i had to push slightly more to come to a stop. But so glad I don't have shit coloured brown front rims.
