I need new brake calipers for my 2005 Mazda 6 and I'd like to upgrade from stock. Maybe not the top of the line Brembos but something quality. Any suggestions?

^^^Me? No man, sorry, I'm no spammer.

Do you know if they can refinish disk brake calipers and wheel hubs? I just got new wheels (see my other thread) and now my old rusted calipers/hubs are needing some love.

Update! After much deliberation, decided on these! MSR 105's - 18x7.5 at 25lbs encased in Falken Ziex ZE-912's. Pretty happy with them so far. Couple of pics below. What do you think?

I dont pretend to be mechanically inclined at all. Anything car related I take to Velocity Auto Works on Willingdon in Burnaby (http://www3.telus.net/velocity/about_us.htm). Brian is the man and the service is fast and more than reasonable.

Thanks P5inder, I'll keep the strength/weight ratio in mind. What is considered light in an 18" rim? Like 18-20lbs?

C'mon folks, 19 views and no replies? Is this a bad sign (shrug)

I may be getting a good deal on some wheels. Anybody know anything about Stern http://www.1010tires.com/wheelsearch.asp?brand=Stern or ADR http://www.adrwheels.ca/ ? Are these good investments? Garbage metal? In-between?

Putting this in my '04 Mazda6 wagon along with new brake pads/rotors. In May/June, new wheels too! Thanks to lowandslow, 90210brandon for their input. Will update with pics when the new wheels are on.

I think I'd like that air intake: will it fit a Mazda6 wagon?

Thanks guys, I have a connection at lordco so I think I can get some sweet deals on performance parts. This is the CAI I was thinking of (or something along these lines): http://www.knfilters.com/search/product.aspx?Prod=69-6026TS or one of these...

Thanks Matt, I don't want to go too crazy...just the basics. I think the cold air intake and exhaust upgrade is a good start. IMO the stock exhaust sounds pretty deep and throaty already, but I understand that a CAI usually requires a bigger exhaust system (more air in = more air out). I don't...

Hey guys, Just got an '04 Mazda6 Wagon. It's a sweet car and I'm really happy with the V6 performance, however... I was wondering what others on this forum typically start with as far as upgrades? I'm thinking mostly cosmetic/performance like wheels, etc. Any advice is appreciated, thanks...
