I was very happy with Bosch BP621 brake pads. It had excellent grip.
Look on rockauto, and look for the brand called bosch, they kick ass and are oem quality
I went with Raybestos rotors and Bosch QuietCast pads. Equal if not better than OEM and much much cheaper.
So I followed their direction and jumped on the old interwebs to my retailer of choice, RockAuto, and ordered Bosch pads and rotors front and back. So I had nothing planned for the weekend figured I would do a little wrenching. Take the wheels off and start to unbolt the caliper, looked down and my rear pads still show about half life. Maybe they just meant the fronts, pop the wheel and they are showing even less wear. My question is it normal for the CX-5 to go 80000 miles on the original pads? I didn't think I drove like my grandmother but it is 70% highway/non city driving. For anyone that does your own maintenance the cost for 4 rotors and pads was less than $200 (Raybestos Element 3 rotors and Bosch Quiet Cast ceramic pads). It really a fairly easy job, and would not take more than 30 minutes per wheel.
Bosch quiet cast
I’ve had stock set up, powerstop rotors with Hawk LTS Truck/SUV pads, and my current set up is Bosch severe duty pads with Advics premium rotors. So far the current set up is my favorite. I really prefer the immediate “bite” of semi metallic pads.
In comparison to the stock setup, the Bosch QuietCast pads and rotors aren't as touchy or responsive. They do require a little bit more pedal travel for normal stopping power. However, they do offer more precise control over how much power is applied throughout the pedal stroke. They are also incredibly quiet and smooth.
I've been doing my own brake job for a while and have used Bosch QuietCast rotors and Bosch QuietCast Premium Disc brake pads, both purchased from Amazon. No complaints.
I’m at around 104k in my 3, on original pads but had an issue with the rear clips causing some squeaks and need to replace those.
Got a 60k MYLR, my pads and rotors seem fine but I keep getting this super loud squeal sound when I brake.
