Brake pads POWER STOP or OEM Mazda

I've ended up with Power Stop on 3 Fords (Fusion, Escape, and Focus) and an Infiniti (Q50 3.0t AWD) and have been happy. Plus it's easy to just buy one kit and everything shows up together. I tend not to use their grease (I have a big tube of sil-glyde in the toolbox) and their retention springs for the rear calipers on the Escape didn't fit (this is not uncommon with other brands I've had on it as well). I've also had very good results with AKebono and used to swear by Wagner ThermoQuiet pads until I had trouble getting them a couple years ago and got the Power Stop parts.

My 2011 2.5 has 220,000 miles on it and it is the most reliable car I’ve owned yet. I bought it used with 45k miles and I have only replaced the tires once, the brake pads once, one engine mount, all belts including timing, and that’s pretty much it. The transmission still shifts pretty smoothly.

Have the powerstop z36 on my gen 1. Next to non brake dust compared to the oem pads/rotors

Power Stop pads and rotors on my Ram 1500 are the best setup I have ever had. Nearly zero dust and consistent braking.

I used PowerStop (cross drilled) when I did my brakes two years ago. They seem pretty good.

I have Power Stop brakes on both my Miata (Z26) and my 3 (Z17). Been on for about 45k km on the 3 and 20k km on the Miata. Absolutely fantastic brakes... The Miata gets driven hard and the brakes have been flawless and powerful. The 3 is a daily driver and the brakes are better than OEM, but not to the point where they'd change the character of the car.

I put Powerstop geomet brakes on my '15 over the winter and they have been solid. I've been pretty happy. They also don't look rusty at all so far.

I installed PowerStop Drilled & Slotted Rotors with PowerStop Pads on my front brake setup. VERY powerful brakes and never had any issues with dust, noise, etc.

Love their fully rotors. Hate the brake pads. Ceramic Brake pads in my experiences with 5 cars throw off a lot of dust!

Bought a set of Powerstop pads and rotors for my Avalon. Every single pad had paint on the edge that prevent the pad from sliding smoothly. Ended up sanding the edges of all 8 pads before I could install them. The rotors warped in 20k miles on the front, and 1 of the pads cracked...
