Hey team,
Have a 2019 CX5 NA with approx 42k miles. I am still on the factory brakes. My driving only involves a lot of coasting to red lights and 50/50 highway/city driving, and I don’t drive like a lunatic, I mean come on it’s only a NA engine in here.
I am looking to replace the pads as I feel they aren’t as reliable anymore. The bite isn’t as what it used to be or maybe I’m just used to it.
Anyhow, I am looking to purchase the pads myself and let my mechanic install them. Should I be replacing the rotors also?
I am looking to buy from rockauto, and I found the Bosch ceramic brakes. Are these comparable to the OEM brakes? Any other recommendations? I am mostly looking for less brake dust as well as good bite. Ceramic or semi-metallic, I don't really care for.
Attached screenshots of the brake pads below.
