What would be better brake/rotor combo - that brakes better?

:
mazda
I remember reading M5 doesn't brake well.
What would be a better product to go for next time? And who sells it?
 
I live 2800 feet above sea level
Tons of braking for me on twisty roads last 103k miles on this car

No brake fade
Excellent pedal feel
Shorter stoping distance
Doesn*t heat up
Consistent stops

Bought them online

No clue where they are made - I am sure you can google that info

How would you compare these to PowerStop brand - RockAuto has them? Incidentally I use Powerstop on my Acura's - no complaint. I am looking because M5 seems to have longer stopping distance.

I am not sure. Never used power stop. My 2012 Acura TSX uses Hawk, which are fantastic. https://acurazine.com/how-tos/a/acura-tsx-brake-pad-reviews-426595

Akebono makes the OEM pads for Acura.

Our Mazda5 is the beater car. Thus I didn't want to deal with any wheel dust from pads, thus the Akebono. I have MS3 18s on my M5, and its a pain to clean those wheels.

My Acura the hawks stop it much better than the Akebono, but then again with 9 cars and 4 motorcycles, each of our machines are literally single purpose. Thus your miles will vary.
