Brake pads Zimmermann or Centric

Been running “Centric Posi Quiet Ceramic Brake Pads” since 2020 and nearly zero dust.

Get a set of Centric PQ (posi-quiet) pads and rotors. Way better than any of the big chain brick and mortar store offerings for less $ too

I bought that centric kit for my 18 Mazda 3 last year, no issues.

Centric Posi Quiet Ceramics & 120 Series rotors from Tire Rack. Though not a CX5, my Mazda6 is running at 60k miles on this set.

Zimmerman Cross drilled rotors from FCP Euro with Centric posi quiet ceramic pads. So much less brake dust with these pads compared to stock.

Zimmerman blank rotors are a good street replacement. No need to pay for drilled/slotted rotors. Personally I went with ceramic brake pads. They don’t bite quite as hard as metallic, but they still bite well, don’t make as much brake dust, and they don’t seize to my rotors after they get wet

Centric OE coated "black hat" rotors and Centric posi-quiet pads are pretty damn tough to beat

I love all things zimmermann brakes. Not the cheapest but some of the highest quality in my opinion.

I’ve always done centric. Good quality, good performance and good price

Centric Posi-Quiet Ceramic... I didn't like them at first, until I bedded them in one early morning and ended up warming up to them.
