They have not changed the brake system since 07. 07-09 are all the same and I am willing to bet the 2010 MS3 is the same. So yes, you can get aftermarkets for yours.

The reason why your Autozone pads didn't work is because Autozone doesn't realize there is a difference between a regular 3 and an MS3.

I've had my car since like 35000 miles and for the past 4k miles while coasting i've been hearing what sounds like knives on a sharpening on a stone coming from my front rims. Ifigured I was going low on pad but I check them and there's nothing wrong ... Just wired noises

I had that happen once, a few stones got caught between the disc and the backing plate... once the stones ground down they fell out (before I could get somewhere to jack it up and pull them out).

My stock pads and rotors lasted 50K. I'm just swapping them out now for Hawk HPS and a set of cheap Wearever rotors from Advance. I would be using Stoptech slotted rotors... but they seem to be on perpetual backorder. I've been waiting 2 months now and can't wait any longer.
