Good video. Once you have EPB maintenance mode on it's a standard brake job. I pushed the piston straight back with a pad spreader no problem. I can recommend the Raybestos coated rotors and pads I got from rockauto. P/Ns below (FRONT and REAR).I'm planning to change my rear brakes later this year, and I found this very helpful video of the whole process.

I've had Powerstop z23s on other cars. They work well, and are a good value. If the rotors aren't coated, I recommend getting some that are. The area around the wheel hub will get rusty in a hurry otherwise.That's great to hear. This will be my first brake job ever, lol. I'll have to pick up a pad spreader tool and some brake lubricant, then I should be ready to tackle this job.
I just placed an order on Rockauto for the Powerstop rear brake kit. Originally I was going to do the exact same Raybestos parts you listed above, but I went with the Powerstop kit mainly for the looks. We'll see how it holds up.

Here is the spreader I used (the "heavy duty" version): https://www.amazon.com/dp/ (commissions earned)
For lubricants I used Sil-glyde for moving parts (pins, rubber boots) and Permatex 20354 for the contact surfaces.
Good luck and be sure to take it slow and double check everything, including torque specs.
Funny. I ordered new rear rotors+pads last year from RockAuto (Centrix GCX Elemental Protection; Partial Coating), still haven't put them on though. I've been waiting to hear some squealing first otherwise I feel like I'm wasting some good pads. Anyway, today it started to squeal a little.That's great to hear.

I actually just heard my rears squealing for the first time yesterday too. When I swapped my winter tires on last year in October, I checked the rear pad thickness, and decided I would be changing the pads before the next winter.
The squealing is awful, lol. I won't be able to get to this until the weekend, but I think I'll head over to Princess Auto or NAPA to pick up a pad spreader tool and some brake lube.
Same here!Hm, seems the squealing went away after a couple of days. Maybe it was just a rock that found its way between the pads and rotors or something.
Hey!! Have you installed the Power stop brakes yet? I paid for a full set of pads and rotors from Mazda (they installed too) about 2 years ago. I'm getting some feedback and vibration. I was also surprised to see the rear pads needed to be changed after 2 years from new. DlMazda service stated the rear brakes bite first before the front to limit the vehicle from dipping on each brake press... It's out in of warranty anyways so I'm going to do this job myself. Good info here!!That's great to hear. This will be my first brake job ever, lol. I'll have to pick up a pad spreader tool and some brake lubricant, then I should be ready to tackle this job.

Off topic, but I can't help saying how great it is that the above statement no longer carries the fear and dread that it did a couple years ago. We're certainly not on easy street with it yet, but so much better than what it once was. Here's hoping for a speedy and full recovery for both of you!...The wife caught covid, and now I have it, ....
Yikes-- yeah I hear you, hope you guys have a speedy recovery. You'll want to take it easy for sure. I brought it home three weeks ago after travelling internationally etc. The wife and both kids under 6 got it as a result even though I tested etc... Guess the tests just didn't pick it up....Sorry, not much to update. The wife caught covid, and now I have it, and I also messed my left wrist up somehow and can't really work on the car. Parts are still uninstalled as a result. But I'll update once I've recovered.
I haven't had any complaints with my brakes. My OEM rear pads have lasted me nearly 80k km (50k mi) over 4 years, But I live in a relatively flat region, so that might have something to do with it.
Bigger is certainly better if you're experiencing brake fade from braking a lot. Bigger rotors remain cooler for longer. You could try bigger rotors with more aggressive brake pads?
