Pretty much anywhere that sells brake pads will be cheaper than that! Hell, you could probably get EBC Greenstuff pads for that price. Is that installed, or just parts?

Yes $111 for pads only!
Are these good for my mazda5ACDelco 17D1095CH Professional Durastop Ceramic Rear Disc Brake Pad Set https://www.amazon.com/dp/ (commissions earned)

not 100% sure and I have no proof (aside from my experience and pics below that is now dead) but if you are going to the dealer for OE pads (not OE value line), you are getting Akebono ProACt (or some equvalant) that go for ~$70/pr online. Good pads.

Maybe this is a newer development, because what came with my car was real POS FoMoCo garbage that glazed my rotors like clear coat, only not so smooth.
Stop Squeak sprays or goop
So rear brake pads on a mazda5, any reason to use the pink stop squeak stuff ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/ (commissions earned) ) or the spray versions thereof? In the "Olden Days" we always used it but it seems to have fallen out of favor these days.

Old Navy polo, Gap polo, RL polo, Hermez polo - they all serve the same purpose
Just installed me a set of Hawk HPS 5.0 (revised version for less dust)! Woot woot! Cost me one hunnid and that's the cheapest I can find.

How is the initial bite and braking power? I have Napa premium on ours, and I hate them.

Initial bite is not overly aggressive and feels pretty linear throughout. I haven't driven with them long enough to give accurate feedback. It seems to withstand fade pretty well, is low dusting, and, most important of all, quite –the premium for quality ceramics. The centric semi metallic stop better but they have all the cons of _metallic… Have you tried the Napa “Ultra” Premium pads? I heard they are good.

That's actually what I have, one down from the top of the line "adaptives" (they were out of those), the Ultra Premium. They are dead quiet, smooth, almost zero dust. They just don't have the initial bite or braking power I am used to. Might be a ceramic thing. I am seriously considering pulling them off.
