Brake pads OEM Mazda or WILWOOD

I bought a well maintained 2014 Mazda 3 hatchback with 60k miles two years ago for $8500. I’ve done rear and front brakes, as well as a rear wheel bearing in that time.

Wilwood White.

9 years working at Mazda and also a master tech, to me always oem fluid. No matter what, I for everything matter in fact. Seen lots of after makers stuff and even brake pads.

Just replaced acc drive belt, plugs and brake pads. One of the easiest cars to fix I've ever worked on. Overall, best car I've ever had.

Mazda 6 Wagon Turbo Diesel.

I'm driving it into the ground ???? but loving every km I drive.

Brakes are the next job, I'm considering an upgrade to slotted rotors and better pads.

235 km/h on the german autobahn, from one border to the other, no issue! Except for the numerous heavy breaking... Going from over 200 to less than 100 several times in a row and you start loosing confidence in the brakes.

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

Probably need to change the brake pads if they are uneven or glazed.

Jeg kører også Mazda, deres bremser holder ikke super længe. Da jeg skulle have skiftet skiver og klodser foran gav de et tilbud på 14.000 og forklarede den høje pris med at de jo bruger originale dele. Rimelig skørt når de originale dele ikke holder.

Similar thing happened to me today, vehicle is 2023 cx-50, 25k mile, not even 2 year, in upstate ny with weekly car wash, gentle on gas and brake. They said front pads are 30%, rear pads are 50%, quoted me $600 to get new front pad & rotor, and rear brake service(cleaning, lubrication). Just 2 month ago from another mechanic's report (same delear), all pads are above 50%. I don't think it's that bad that both pad and rotor need to be replaced, so I denied the work,
