Switch to powerstops and you are set for the next 50k miles (depending on your driving style/conditions). My OEM rotors warped around 16k miles, dealer resurfaced and it warped again at 20 something. Replaced with another new set of OEM rotors which too warped before my car hit 30k miles. I followed other lads on mazda6club forum and switched to Powerstops and it is still going strong at 62k miles.

Pros: going strong at 62k miles
Cons: OEM rotors warp quickly

Mileage: 62000 km

I use Powerstop rotors with akebono pads and works better than OEM in my opinion. I don't like Powerstop pads because they have a break in procedure whereas akebono does not.

Pros: better than OEM
Cons: break in procedure

I put them on my truck first for better braking while towing and was so impressed with them that I put a set on my wife's rx350 as well just because they feel so much better than stock, IMO. They are outstanding. They just feel more robust/solid under heavy braking vs. stock.

Pros: better braking, more robust
Vehicle: Lexus

if you're going to take it back to the dealership, ask them to mount a different set of wheels and tires to eliminate that finally.

also, when was the last time your brake disks were replaced? it's not uncommon for brake dust to build up in the rotor and cause an imbalance. simply use compressed air or water to clean out the inside of the disk and see if it improves.

Pros: easy to improve
Cons: brake dust imbalance

Powerstop rotors and pads. Stocks where starting to squeak so upgrade time. Definitely a difference in stopping power

Pros: difference in stopping power

My Golf R's brakes look like this as well. I have 10K + miles on them but they have been like this since 2-3K miles. I'll say it's "normal". Even though i haven't experienced it with other cars that i can recall.

Cons: brakes look scored
Mileage: 4828 km
