Which OEM comparable brake pads? 2019 CX-5 NA

[Whiter0se]

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.

We went with the Bosch Quiet Cast Pads and Rotors on the Wife's 2013 and, damn, those are nice parts. Smoooooooth stuff. Would not hesitate for a moment going Bosch!
Get a fluid replacement while you're there, it makes the change complete.

You probably have plenty of pad left. At 4 years old a brake fluid change would help. If you do get new pads, look into Akebono
