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).
Yes Akebono Ultra Premium for pads and Brembo rotors are great.
Personally I use power stop pads and rotors even beyond Mazdas all my cars have power stop brake components.
I've used akebono aftermarket pads twice in the past. They work fine.
I did a full weekend around 90 min per day of track time on a set of Akebono Euro pads. I had expected to wear them out, but wear was minimal even with every lap having a 120-40mph full ABS brake. A bit of odor, but no fade on my E46 BMW 330i.
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.
using the powerstops rn since September, best set i’ve had since my OEM when i first got my q.
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 have them and haven't seen any improvement in braking. They're also very noisy.
