brakes

I've just spent $4,000 getting these items replaced at a local dealer (I'm at 80k so outside of warranty) after complaining for months to dealers about the vibration in my CX9. Dealer was helpful but after Mazda USA refuses to acknowledge or address known issues with tranfer cases, drive shafts...

Have you seen our New ... Will work with Mazdaspeed3 and Mazda3. Releasing Tomorrow. Questions?

Just got back from the servicing my 2012 mazda 5 at the dealers. Apparently the rear brake pads are down to 4mm and need replacing. Does anyone know how long I can go before I need to change them? I'm at around 40.5K miles and am planning to drive to Florida in a couple of weeks (1600 miles)...

I have been a Hawk HPS user since my first pad replacement years ago after my original pads worn out. I like the harder grip of the HPS but they are not cheap. I priced a set online and seen them no lower than 55$ for a set of front HPS pads hb211f.606. So now I am unemployed and was just...

Ok, so im fairly new here, but not that new. ive had my car just over a year now, and my rusty calipers are looking pretty fugly now. I upgrade my rotors last fall, and it just makes the calipers look worse by comparisin. i have a couple thoughts and would like to know if anyone has done the...

Looking for a right side JDM tail light. Some goof at work backed into me. Would conceder a set but checking to see if anyone has just the right side first.

So I purchased a set of four new slotted and drilled rotors from R1 concepts and a set of 4 new calipers that I plan to paint red this weekend. I have my mechanic friend installing it all next week some time. So my question is which way are the slots in the rotors supposed to face. It seems...

Got a (hopefully) quick question for the gurus. Just bought a brand new 2012 CX-9 GT. Within 2 hours of purchase the wrench light came on, TCS off light illuminated, and cruise control stopped working. The car had diminished power and inability to accelerate. Dealer says a blown brake fuse...

So Im thinking to change out my rotors and wheel bearings some time when my brake pads start to go bad again. I was going to ask you all what kind of rotors would be the best over oem. I mean i think its not really too necessary for slotted vent discs but im thinking just keep them flat plate...

My caliper is seizing and im looking for a working msp caliper asap! thanks

No question here, just a report. I replaced the brake pads on my 2002.5 Proteg5 the other day, and found to my surprise that one of the floating pins on the RR caliper was seized. For those not familiar with the way these floating calipers work, there is only one piston and it acts upon the...

I haven't really found anything on this very specific, but very obvious, issue I've noticed in my 2011 Mazda2 Touring MT (~56K). I first noticed it a while ago, predominantly when coasting downhill, foot on the brake and clutch and I hit a bump. At that exact moment, it almost feels like the...

Just a quick question... Can I install and use the same rotors for front and rear? I have 4 wheel disc brakes. 5 lug nuts on each tire. I have a parts catalog that lists 2 different parts for front and rear rotors on 4 wheel disk variants like my car, however Rockauto.com is confusing me a bit...

Hi all, I'm a new Mazda owner, bought a Protege5 in May. Almost a month after we bought the car, the front and rear brake pads, rotors and calipers were replaced. As it turns out, the previous owner had done the same work and replaced the whole brake system in 2010. I'm not too familiar with...

I posted on this issue in a different thread yesterday, but after reading up on this it seems like most people have a different brake-seizing problem to mine. Other people find that the little allen-socket adjustment gear seizes or strips--mine turns fine in both directions, but the piston...

my brake light came on today as i was braking for a red light, ten it shut off as soon as i went. I have been able to replicate several times. Im not sure what this means. I have checked the brake fluid, its good. Ive checked the rear brakes, they look ok. The front look thin but ive never had...

Okay so im having some braking issues, so heres the question. Do I get the rotors cut or buy upgraded rotors such as new stoptech oem replacements, or should I go slotted, or cross drilled slotted. And also looking into ebc greenstuff pads. Opinons please? Thanks.

whats the biggest size i could put on my 02 p5
