My 2020 needed front pads at 24k, rear at 32k. I installed Powerstop kits instead of oem.
Firstly, thank god you’re getting rid of the stock Falkens, because they’re garbage. But as far as the brakes, it’s common. Mazda OE brakes are notoriously short lived. If you don’t want to be right back in the same boat in another 20,000 miles, put on a set of PowerStops or R1 Concepts and you’ll not have to worry about it again for a long time.
OK, just giving an update. I am really enjoying these breaks. I think they are a lot better than my first assumption of 30%. I was just in a quick stop situation and they are very good
For generic JDM/American cars, we install Power stop. Parts House has good wholesale pricing on them, and 0 comebacks.
In my personal vehicles I like to use Powerstop. No noise, pulsation, low dust, ok pedal feel.
Just installed the powerstops yesterday. Did the break in, and they feel much better than the basics i had on. You can feel the stopping power by i would say 30% more than just regular rotors and pads.
I installed power stop brakes a year ago. I have a 2004 V6, with the smaller caliper. The power stop is a huge upgrade. Been off-road with them, downhill coming from lake Tahoe with my family of 5 and full load, towed a few thousand lbs to the dump, brakes did great. I swapped because my rotors always warped, after 3 full rotor changes I had enough.
Power stops are great I’m about to get some for my Ulti that fit with my brembo calipers
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.
Power stop. I regret getting r1 concept
