My brakes have the low speed shudder, and have had it for quite some time. My car still stops very well at 14k miles, but it is annoying.

All these brakes threads make me want to start a petition to Mazda for these issues.
Enough of us bitched about the hesitation, maybe we can get the brakes fixed too.

so if we get our rotors turned, we have to get new brake pads, correct?

It would be adviseable since the old pads wouldn't be even.

Being in a retail business these days, anything that is being imported into this country is going through the roof price-wise. The US dollar is very, very weak right now. If their rotors are coming in from another country (Japan, Australia, Italy), that's why.

Another reason to buy Made in the USA.

Just as bad. The US dollar is way down to the Canadian dollar compared to a year ago.
