Brake pads OEM Mazda or Hawk Performance

I’ve two cars, a V6 sedan and a Mazda exactly like this. I depended mostly on my Mazda, which I’ve had for 3 years with an automatic transmission. I absolutely love it- it has never let me down. It always starts and goes, and I’ve even left it idling for hours many days with no issues. Apart from brake pads and regular oil changes, I haven’t had to do anything to it.

Using hawk ceramic on mine. Seem alright for the street use I do. Way less dust than OEM.

Hawk Performance PC, they work very well and hardly any dust. Just a little squeaky when cold tho.

I’ve got a 2020 Turbo with 83,000 miles. Great car. Very reliable. Did do full brakes at 74,000 miles. Lots of power, love the car.

Then replace the pads with Hawk performance ceramic pads.

I'd go for either Hawk HPS 5.0

I run Hawk HP Plus on DBA rotors, but I also sound like a school bus stopping. Doesn\u2019t bother me, but they\u2019re on the louder slide.

Pacific Mazda has been okay; they only pushed an unnecessary break maintenance so far.

Happens to me as well on the track. The Hawk “ street performance” pads I used aren’t cutting it.

How about my 2021 Mazda 6 Grand Touring Reserve with a measly 14,000 miles and the dealer says the rear brakes are rusted and grooved with photo evidence.
