2016~2020 CX-9 Brakes the same as GT-R and Sig?

Those are for the NA models.

What’s interesting is that the Akebono catalog only lists Cx-9s up to 2017.

Brake pads which fit 2016 ~ 2017 CX-9 should also fit 2018 ~ 2020 CX-9 and 2019 ~ 2020 CX-5 with 2.5T’s. They‘re just slow to update the catalog. Contact the vender to verify.

Might want to put the Mazda into sport mode at the crest before you hit the crest of the mountain on the way down the mountain this will prevent the car for up shifting (for beter mpg’s) engine braking. you’ll have better control around any turns. Yeah I may burn more gas but the pain in the butt worth replacing brakes/rotors ( 20-30k miles) so frequently makes it a no-brainer.

You don't burn gas coasting down a hill in a lower gear (no throttle), RPMs will go up but the engine doesn't use gas. Just watch your "current MPG" readout...it'll skyrocket.
