Get thicker ones (5.5mm). I also warped my stock ones and got Brembo supersports instead, I feel like they withstand whatever I throw at them.
They feel very similar to the original pads, so much so that I wouldn't be surprised if the original pads were supplied by Brembo on the performance pack.
They’re fantastic. Got a set when I swapped in brembos last summer. Amazing braking power and minimal fade.
My OEM Calipers are still looking good at 200k. I just put OEM pads and Brembo Rotors for less than 200 bucks. Next time I will be doing the 199 Caliper and Rotor Upgrade.
Just the Brembo rotors.
4 years ago I had my daughter, before taking my 2008 Mazda 6 back to college with her, install new Brembo "OE"/standard type pad sets front and rear and new Brembo rotors in the front. The front pads and rotors were so thick that the caliper piston cups had to be ENTIRELY retracted into the pistons to fit over them. After completion of the job and the performance of the pad/rotor break-in procedure, the already capable car was turned into a braking performance monster. It was like if you depressed the brake pedal a millimeter the car would start to decelerate markedly! And rapid stops were unbelievable quick and drama free. So I absolutely recommend Brembo products (have installed Brembo pads on 2 SUVs as well) and have always been impressed with the results!!
BNT are good for brake stuff - they normally have two options, their cheaper brand and brembo. Did rotors and pads front and rear on an Audi A3 for $650 for brembo rotors and Bendix pads as an indication.
Mine squeal sometimes at 5-15mph. Stock Brembo pads too.
Looks sharp, but remember slotted and drilled rotors are really pretty worthless in most cases until you get to really aggressive track only brake pads at extremely fast advanced level pace (or race pace).
