Brake pads EBC or Akebono
EBC Red Stuff pads will fix ya up nicely. Way less dust, better performing.
I use EBC blue stuff on my Mach 1 for national competition in F Street. Coefficient of friction of .52. modulate well, try them on the street all the time, and take a pretty good beating.
Also swap out pads, I like ebc redstuff, about 20% of the dust as stock. isweeps have even less dust but don't have the bite that stock or ebcs do.
Swap out for ceramic pads (I've had good success with Akebono)
I like Akebono Ceramic pads with Zimmerman rotors on my E92, some feel that you lose a little bite but I like them and they pretty much eliminate brake dust.
Akebono are very good brake pads.
I put on EBC redstuff and they work well.
I went with EBC rotors and RedStuff pads.
It’s the pads. I paid my dealer to change my pads out to Akebono because the dust and noise was so bad. I get that it’s a performance car but good lord it was miserable for a daily driver.
I'm at 70k km and have changed only front braking pads so far. OEM braking pads and rotors suck. I've switched to EBC brakes brand based on the recs of my familiar Mazda owners and will never come back to the stock shit.
