    Brake Pad and Rotor Suggestions

    You'll probably get a fair number of recommendations for the Hawk HPS pads. I think their HP Plus is the next step up. Check their website for the gory details. I've been running the Carbotech 1521's for a while without incident and like them very much. They have a fantastic initial bite and...

    Dust Seal Replacement

    Yes, I beleive that is it. However, that looks more like an actual seal instead of a boot. I'm guessing they are one in the same, but don't know since I have not taken it appart. Judging by the anti-rattle spring, that looks like a Mazda 3 brake. Thanks for the input!

    TPMS Questions

    I own a 09 MS3 Sport. A month or two after purchasing the vehicle, the TPMS warning light came on. I immediately checked the pressure and found all of the wheels to be w/in spec (34F & 32R). After ignoring the light for several months I had my dealer investigate. Their solution was to inflate...

    09 MS3 Transmission Noise @ Idle

    I own a stock '09 MS3 w/ 1500 miles. From day one the transmission has made a slight noise when parked w/ the engine running. When I depress the clutch pedal to the floor, the noise disappears. I saw an older thread that suggested that the noise is from the throwout bearing and is typical of the...
