I ordered a set of pads and rotors from Rockauto. They didn't have Brembo so I went with Bosch Quietcast which arrived today. They appear to be very nicely made with coating all over the rotors. Hopefully they will do a good job. I will have them installed soon.
Good choice!
I forgot about BOSCH pads. Don't use them much in the shop but enough I can state never having a problem with them!
Let us know how they work out. Don't forget to bed them in which is important as you well know.
Just had the Valve Stem Seals replaced (no charge) on my 6 Signature with 2.5T. Before and after this repair, the dealer has been using 5W30 Synthetic Blend.

To bad you didn't get the old ones.
But good luck anyone asking for and getting them
Thanks for posting what your dealership uses , it helps really to support many of the responses and misconceptions brought up on this thread!
Out of curiosity, what would CSpringsBob do with the old parts if he were able to obtain them? You are interested in getting a set of defective ones?
I would ask that he mark about 2-4 in a personal way send them to me (i would pay the mailing envelope fee? like maybe 3 bucks ) and I would show on our forum what Mazda did/or didn't really do with the new seals comparing the original par number in a sealed Mazda pop packaging. I already know and I think I mention it once somewhere on our four? I did when shortly became available compare both older and the new superseded numbers used.
