Reviews of POWER STOP brake pads

For the price and quality I like PowerStop pads and rotors. Their carbon cermic pads and I opt for the drilled and slotted rotors. Had them on my truck and towed 10,000lbs. Have them on my wife's CX5.

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.

The front and rear pad kits were wrong. The shims for the front pads did not fit and the rear pads were for my model WITHOUT electric parking brake. The rear pads have rivets in the way on the inner pad which interfere with the solid piston.

I’m loving my powers too ceramic pads… the reduction in break dust is awesome

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.

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.
