Hey everyone! I've been feeling like the brakes on my 2024 CX-5 are a bit softer than I'd prefer. I'm thinking about switching to Raybestos ETH pads to get a better feel and performance. Has anyone used these pads on their CX-5? I'd love to hear your thougths or any advice
 
Yeah, I've used Raybestos EHT pads on my CX-5...big improvement in feel and stopping power but just make sure they're bedded in properly

The Raybestos ETH pads are a solid choice and would definitely give you a firmer, more responsive pedal feel than the stock pads.
in fact, I'm using it on my CX5 now. They're a ceramic/metallic hybrid, so you'll get good initial bite and better fade resistance without a ton of extra noise or dust. They're a great performance oriented upgrade for daily driving and would likely solve that 'soft' feel you're getting
 
I swapped to Raybestos EHT pads on my CX-5 and they made a big difference, it is firmer pedal feel, better bite, and smoother stops... just be sure to bed them in properly for best results.
 
I really appreciate all the feedback and suggestions! I'm currently using Raybestos on my CX-5, and it's performing amazingly, feels solid, bites well, and stops smoothly.
