Brake pads Brembo or OEM Mazda
Brembo is a good brand when it comes to rotors and ceramic brake pads. I got a pair of rotors and ceramic brake pads for 280ish CAD plus shipping and taxes.
I usually buy Brembo.
My 12 of this generation is at 222k miles with just oil changes and tires as well. One set of pads and rotors at 175k and still had life left.
I have Brembos on the front of my 09. Working great for me.
I bought a set of brembo discs and pads, OEM spec. They work a treat and its much quicker to stop than oem brakes
New ceramic brembo brake pads all around. 10/25/2024
Drilled Brembo max rotors and Brembo pads
Did you upgrade to drilled and slotted rotors? I did brembo metallic pads and brembo drilled n slotted in my e46 and they felt like that from the rip. Keep in mind if you’re upgrading to something that is meant for tracking then u kind of sacrifice comfort.
Mine are done after 7400km (4900mile). I just replaced the stock tires with Pirelli Corsa 2 and the grip difference over stock is amazing, now need new brake pads. I am leaning toward brembo sintered.
Update: I went with Brembo SR which are the Sintered Racing pads for the front and SP compound for the rear. The remaining pad life on the front was about 10% and 80% for the rear. My fronts were missing pieces of pad.
I've been replacing the brakes on my 2019 since it hit about 25k or so, rear have been done twice (I'm at 62k now and just did them the second time) and the front were done around 30k. My dealership outright told me Mazda brakes are garbage and these vehicles are not made for Canadian winters (regardless of what their advertising says). This new set is aftermarket so hopefully better but seriously my brakes have been so corroded it's unbelievable.
