Don’t expect a large difference in braking distance compared to factory pads - at least for normal driving. Recommending a particular brand is pretty worthless since most have numerous compounds for each vehicle. Some high performance pads will not stop shorter until they get very hot, like on a track. Some make more noise, some make less dust, all from the same manufacturer. Unless someone recommends a particular compound from a certain brand on a CX-5 you should contact the pad manufacturer for guidance. I have no experience with aftemarket pads on a CX-5 but have had good overall results on other vehicles with Hawk HPS pads.
