Going to do the brakes in another 10-15K miles. These are obviously warped, and I refuse to turn rotors. I just replace them.
I want a low-dust brake pad and the most durable rotors known to man...within a sensible budget. I am not trying to turn my CX-5 into a Viper, but I would like to improve upon the factory hardware if it's a no-cost option to do so.
I am also curious if there is any rubber in the brake lines that can be easily replaced by braided SS lines. I know some vehicles have 12" of rubber or so near the caliper that is easily replaced during a brake job. I have not looked at my CX-5 close enough to determine the viability of this, but I am sure someone here knows.
Option 1:
Rock Auto "Raybestos" brand OEM style rotors. These are re-branded 50% discounted NAPA Gold parts. with ceramic Raybestos pads. This is a cheap OEM equivalent with better fit/finish in my experience with Raybestos.
Option #2:

This is probably my cheapest option, and will be my default. I did this for my Grand Jeep cherokee and it was a great call. Brakes were solid until I sold it.
