Can't go wrong as its OEM replacement parts. That said, if you hate brake dust as much as I do, you could consider going with akebono ceramic pads. I went with pagid rotors and akebono ceramic pads when I did my big brake kit a year or so ago and love both the pedal feel and low brake dust. Factory pads have a bit more initial bite, but i prefer the more progressive feel of the akebonos which allows for smoother braking.

Pros: low brake dust, smooth braking
Cons: less initial bite

My oem rotors warped around 45k. Had an Indy install Stoptech rotors and Akebono ceramic pads and they lasted over 100k, with no brake dust.

Pros: long lasting, no brake dust
Cons: rotors warped at 45k
Mileage: 100000 km

Akebono Brake pads

AKEBONO PRO-ACT ULTRA PREMIUM are available at Napa and I hear are some of the quietest brake pads you can get over the life span of the pad. They're ceramic pads which won't make your miata sound like a school bus

Pros: quiet, long lifespan
Vehicle: Mazda 5

Very little dust. Excellent grip. They do take a few min to warm up when cold/wet but it’s not noticeable at all.

Pros: little dust, excellent grip
Cons: slow warm-up
