brakes

If i put this in hte wrong section Mods please move so all of the mazda community can see this great find please :) I wanted to share some news for all mazdas i have found a few months back. I wanted to wait and see how these brakes hold up before i share with my mazda community. Its...

Well, I am thinking of doing a brake overhall because Zoomie (my protege lol) needs some. I have no idea where to start with getting new pads and rotors for the front. Also for some reason I have drums in the back (odd i know). Does anybody know when i should change them and what brand i should...

Hey everybody, I'm looking at replacing my rear rotors and brake pads and was wondering if anyone could recommend a brand and specific replacement products. I'm considering doing the work myself, but I'm a bit of a noob at this. I have replaced the rear shocks myself, since the stock ones...

I just recently put on some new tires, Kumho, got all four balanced and a 4 wheel alignment this past weekend. Now when im on the highway, usually between 75-82 mph the wheel will have just a very subtle slight shaking in the wheel. It kind of pisses me off cause I had the cheapest tires on...

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...

This caliper apparently measures in imperial (inches) and I have 3 pictures of the measurements that I need deciphered LOL. My friend let me borrow this to measure my old rotors and this is what I got. The way I had to do this is that I had to add something (harddrive magnets) to each side of...

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...

So yesterday, I had the P5 up on jackstands to rotate the tires (severe wear on the inside of the front tires, so I guess toe is out, but that's a different issue), and I noticed that the driver-side rear wheel still rotates freely when the parking brake lever is fully deployed. Common problems...

Van: 2006 Mazda5 Sport AT A few weeks ago I had the P0715 code come up and the van dropped down to 3rd gear until I stopped. After searching through the forums I found that the turbine speed sensor should be replaced to fix the issue. I replaced it this past weekend along with the rear...

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...

Hello all, The last few weeks I've noticed that sometimes when I am braking to slow down the car to make a turn, it seems and sounds like the engine is racing as if I had it in neutral and was putting my foot on the gas. This is a 2013 automatic touring in Drive. Has anyone else noticed...

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 does anyone sell brake caliper covers for the mp3? I painted mine years ago and shortly after they looked horrible. I've found some for the mazda 6, would those work?

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
