yayyy!!! parts are in and brought the beast in this morning. I get to drive around a new mazda 3 for a loaner..... Not really any complaints except for the power....man do I miss my turbo!! I did play around with the bluetooth connectivity though...that was a 1 up on the 6.

It was smoking before the 5w 40 change pretty bad. After they switched to the heavier oil most of the smoke went away...only a puff after sitting at idle and first taking off. The smell would be there though and the dealership told me it did smell pretty bad. You could smell it inside the car...

I haven't posted or even been on here in awhile.....so after I had my oil changed back in July to the 5w 40 from the dealership and evidence of the oil burning smell, they have decided to get my turbo replaced under warranty!! I have an 07 sport with 45k on it. I quick switched out the SRI/TIP...

I got the ones from your link. I have a pic I will post of my front wheel after about 5 weeks of driving around Chicago. So lots of stop and go traffic.

40k is when I did mine......I didn't have them checked, but I started to get some squeeking from the oem's and judging by the mileage...it was about time. Also I am happy to report VERY little dust from these pads. After a couple weeks the front wheels looked about like the REAR from the...

I am telling you....at least I think they are awesome pads.....and I spent only $160 on them for a total set. I didn't turn my rotors either....I will probably get new ones the next go around.

I just do street driving.....no track time......I have heard from everywhere that ceramics have very little dust........am I wrong?

$175 for front and rear....that is with tax and shipping

After looking around at all of the different brands and whatnot.....I went ahead and ordered Hawk Ceramics...I will get them on probably next weekend and I will let you guys know how they are....I saw them at tirerack and was surprised because i didn't even know they existed for the MS6...didn't...

I went to the dealership and they changed my oil to....surprise....the same stuff I put in mobil 1 5w-40.......he told me to see if it still smokes excessively and if it does bring it in again.....guess ill be back in a week....lol
