Brake pads POWER STOP or OEM Audi
I've been very happy with them on the street. I hardly ever notice dust. When it's cold they sometimes squeak getting out of the driveway, but never more.
I’m loving my powers too ceramic pads… the reduction in break dust is awesome
I’m happy with my PowerStops
For rotors just get fully coated blanks on RockAuto. For pads, I’ve had really good results with the PowerStop Z23 pads. Very affordable, zero brake dust, and they’ll hold up to everything except an actual track day. I’ve also had Redstuff pads on my previous car, and feel like these are equivalent.
I originally installed the powerstops in 2018 they have lasted around 93k miles.
They have great bite, are quiet, and have very little dust. I do wear my pads out faster than most, but that's because 28 miles of my 52 mile round trip commute are on mountain roads and I do drive pretty hard. So far, I have not warped the rotors(did that with other stock style rotors).
Personally I use power stop pads and rotors even beyond Mazdas all my cars have power stop brake components.
When I replaced my rear brake pads and rotors earlier this year - he straight up told me that the front pads were almost out but the rotors were good and since this particular dealership needed you to replace both together - he recommended a local German auto shop that would replace just the brake pads.
I switched the Brembo pads to Power Stop ceramic pads to reduce the black dust that sticks to the wheels and calipers. I didn\u2019t notice much difference in stopping power but I\u2019m sure I gave up a little bit.
changed front pads to powerstop z26 pads. "Broke" them in doing recommended stopping intervals. Now 2 days later going over 60 the car shakes really bad seemingly from the passenger side.
