Stopping My New Found Power

[BeamerKillr]

Hello all, I have now worn out my brake pads and will be replacing them soon. Then I thought why not put different rotors on as well. Has anyone changed their rotors yet or have any feedback on parts for me. thanks(mspo)

BeamerKillr - we have a 13" 4pot BBK available for the MSP in-fact some of the fellow board members asked us to host a GB for them. Here's the link -> http://www.msprotege.com/vbb225/showthread.php?s=&threadid=24511

How many miles do you have?

 

[BeamerKillr]

well ION once again you save the day. I will be looking into it very soon. thanks.

Notorious: about 12K lots of road trips. but she gets anything she needs whenever she needs it

wow, must be rough on those brakes
I'm at 30k miles and still have plenty of brakes left on the first set...(I must drive slow )

 

[iON Performance]

Actually you Mazda guys have pretty good stock brakes. You should see how many Subarus have smoked rotors & pads in less then 3 months. Can you say "Rally On"

im at 22000 and the front are getting very low, prolly a change coming at 25000. i use the clutch sometimes if i need to slow down only a bit.

 

[BeamerKillr]

yeah I should but see we are near Alabama and those lovely people from Phenix City Drive with there heads up their collective asses, so brakes are used a lot.

I agree ION: our brakes aren't that bad, we do however have some bad brake fade at High speed.

 

[scott42]

I guess I do downshift quite a lot...thus my brakes are rarely used...most of the miles are highway and no real stop and go at all otherwise, if at all...

u went through brakes on ur MSP already?! u must be a brake happy mofo..

My brakes are still good, its my front tires that need replacing. Probably get the rest of the summer and fall outta them. Stupid soft Z rated tires, making me go around corners all fast and crazy.

 

[mazdaspeed Mike]

brakes are gooooood. you use them so you can accelerate again!

 

[BeamerKillr]

you are one crazy mo fo bro

 

[t3ase]

What about the "carbon fiber" or whatever brake pads? Are they worth it?
