Hi, I thought it would be nice if we started brake pad review. I don't normally run pads so low. Since I need jack suv, remove tires, etc. It's really only 45 mins more to change pads. Which can be purchased $20-60
Trying to keep it easy so
-Front/ Back/ Both, Vehicle, city/heavy traffic/highway miles,
-Brand and thickness if you got way to measure.
(those free paint stick at Home Depot and Lowe are about 4mm)
Hopefully others would join
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Both -Cx 5 2014 , highway, 80k miles,
Oem Mazda -at least 6 mm
Back -Cx 5, highway, 61k miles
Car quest Wearever Platinum , 0 mm it was metal on metal. Not pad fault, caliper broken.
Back -Cx 9 2016, highway, 80k miles
Oem Mazda -at least 3 mm
Back -Cx 9 2016, highway, 28k miles
Wagner OEX1934- about 1mm.... I attached photos. You can tell it's a Wagner due to the pad shape
( Worst pad yet)
Front -Cx 9 2016 highway, 127k miles
Oem Mazda -about 6MM. I used the Temu tool for the first time. Totally used it wrong. But I used my digital caliper obtain new measurements. I know I can keep going with OEM, but I might be too busy next time. Since I already order the parts, I just installed it.
So far for both suv that is FWD. Seem the back wear a bit sooner then front (oem at least).
CX 9 oem Front is $35, back oem is $80.
