What's a good OEM Brake Pad Replacement?

[TurboMan]

I need to replace my front brake pads, and I was wondering if anyone could recommend a standard brand (i.e. not necessarily a performance upgrade) that are reliable and inexpensive.

Thanks!

EBC Greenstuff.

The cheapest price i found for greenstuff was around $67 at horsepowerfreaks.com, which is still kinda pricey... Any other brands that might be a bit less expensive?

why go for cheap pads when the EBC's are a great price and they work GREAT

Akebono's ProACT brake pads are an excellent stock replacement... Akebono is one of Mazda's OE suppliers so you will get OEM quality and performance... low dust, low noise, long life, good performance, good temperature ranges
front pads is ACT755
rear pads is ACT482

many other aftermarket pads tend to dust a lot, wear out fast, or have bad temperature ranges, so beware
