Brake pads POWER STOP or OEM Mazda

I had EBC pads and I don’t think they are worth the premium price in comparison to the powerstop. I actually went back to powerstop. I’ve also had the stop tech rotors and once again I don’t feel much difference between the two. I don’t track my car so they may be something different but for everyday driving and safety I trust the powerstop. I had ebc on my Audi as well but now I even use powerstop on it because I didnt feel the ebc were worth the premium for everyday driving. On my scat I currently have demon performance rotors and use powerstop pads.

I have used POWERSTOP Brake pads and rotors with good results. Available on Amazon.

For the price and quality I like PowerStop pads and rotors. Their carbon cermic pads and I opt for the drilled and slotted rotors. Had them on my truck and towed 10,000lbs. Have them on my wife's CX5.

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

My 12 of this generation is at 222k miles with just oil changes and tires as well. One set of pads and rotors at 175k and still had life left.

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 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.

If that quote is just for pads, it's not a ripoff. it's criminal!!! Do yourself a favor and buy powerstop, install them yourself, and save a fortune. Scat brakes are ridiculously easy to work on.
