Secondary Update. I ordered the matching PowerStop Z26 rears, and they also have no clunk and fit well! The pads feel meh until you bed them in. After that they feel great! Slightly less initial bite than OE, but the pedal is much more linear, making it easier to come to a smooth stop at lights. Overall for less than $100 for a front and rear set you\u2019d be hard pressed to find a better pad for daily duty plus a little fun on the side.

Pros: fit well, pedal linear
Cons: less initial bite

POWER STOP Brake pads

I've been using Powerstop brakes for years, and haven't had any mechanical problems. My only issue (and this is a personal one) is that the thick rubber backing makes the pedal feel a bit spongy.

Cons: spongy pedal feel

I just did brakes with: Powerstop Evolution Sport, Drilled/Slotted Discs, Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Pad Part Kit#: P15K5305, Mach V Techna-Fit SS Lines, Motul DOT 4 fluid. All for under $600 and I’ve been very happy with this setup. I don’t track but drive spirited and they’ve performed flawlessly, and no more brake dust.

Pros: flawless performance, no brake dust
Vehicle: Subaru
Part number: P15K5305

I put the Geomet coated Powerstop rotor and ceramic pad front and rear kits from RockAuto on my ‘14 XT. They work well and my speed demon wife liked them better than the originals.

Pros: works well, better than originals

OEM Mazda Brake pads

Changed the pads front and rear was super easy and straight forward.Then after taking the car out of 'electric brake service mode' and starting the car I get the a yellow check engine light and code C05AB, clearing it made no difference. Only thing I could find online was "The electronically controlled brake unit detects that the pressure feed valve (primary side) is stuck ON (OPEN)."

Pros: easy installation, straightforward
Cons: check engine light, code C05AB
Vehicle: Mazda 3

OEM Mazda Brake pads

Mazda brakes are notoriously shit. They’re garbage. Buy a set of PowerStop brakes and be done with it. They’re far superior to the Mazda brakes. Go on any forum and you’ll see countless people having the same issue as you. New brakes between 15-20,000 miles. Me included. I’ve owned 2 6s from new. Both needed brakes around 20,000 miles. Both times I put on PowerStops and never had another issue.

Pros: PowerStop superior, no more issues
Cons: Mazda brakes garbage
Vehicle: Mazda 6
Mileage: 20000 km
