Default 2017 Mazda CX-3 Brakes replacement.

Good afternoon guys!

I have a 2017 CX-3 Touring FWD, and I need rear brake pads and rotors for my vehicle. Is there any website or place you guys recommend buying them from? And does it matter what type of brakes I get as I use my CX-3 as a commuter vehicle.

Thank you.

I would recommend OEM Mazda (NOT the cheaper "value line" mazda pads- mazda has 2 quality and price levels) as they restored original braking.I purchased mine online(ebay--- "zoomparts1") which is Avondale Mazda in Arizona.Got the shim kit also from them.You'll probably find cheaper aftermarket but will you be happy with them? This might sound opinionated but after doing my own work on my 11 cars since 1972, I don't screw around with aftermarket pads.I know what I'm getting with OEM.Who wants to do the job twice. Just my .02.

I would just go to RockAuto and buy new Centric rotors, and then your pads of choice (ceramic for low dust but poor initial bite when cold, semi-metallic for good bite in all conditions, but pretty dusty); these are easily the quality of the OEM pads and rotors, at a fraction of the price.
