Brake pads OEM Toyota or OEM Mazda

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.

Rear brake pads and rotors will not have an effect on nor cause a master cylinder failure.

Max automotive in surprise is by far the best place I\u2019ve found. Super honest, very fair pricing, will not upsell you or tell you that you need extra things done. The closest I got to that was when I took the car in once it was past due on an oil change which I had planned to do myself but hadn\u2019t had the time to get to. He fixed the issue I came in for (breaks I think) and offered to do the oil change for free, just charged me like 15 bucks for the oil. I have an EV now but if I still had my Toyota truck I\u2019d take it to him in a heartbeat

Just last year I switched out the original Yokohama tires for Pirelli and this year I switched out the original front brake pads. My mechanic said the rear pads still has life in them so deal with it next time. I thought it would cost a lot, but it was just Toyota parts so price was $120 or so.... and its going to be another 10 years before needing another change assuming similar driving habits.

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.

2024 prem plus with 50k miles and no major issues. At 6k miles the battery was defective and then at 11k miles and then again at 36k miles my front brakes were shot.

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.

Cx5 2024, one year old and the brakes are completely shot and need to be replaced. I was quoted like 1.5k and the manufacturer only offered $500 discount on the new brakes. I’m honestly appalled.

I disagree with most on daily driving the 80. I find it reasonably accessible to drive regularly with one exception: the brakes. Most people are used to their cars stopping at a moments notice and the stock brakes in the 80s suck.
