brakes

I need new calipers but I can't find them anywhere. Any ideas of where I can get a pair used or new?

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

One day, out of the blue, my dash board ((Brake)) warning light came on. No ABS light. I went and got my brake pads(professionally) changed and back rotors. I got my front rotors turned. E-brake is not up. Brake fluid is full. Is there anything else that could be the problem? Is there a way to...

My 2006 MazdaSpeed6 is in need of some new brakes, and I was wondering what the concensus is for the best bang for the buck. I am not interested in doing a whole Brembo Big Brake kit for $1500 +, but I was thinking about new brake pads and possibly rotors. My first choice in Brake pads would...

I wasted a whole day running around trying to find a compression tool to retract the rear caliper pistons on a friends 2006 Mazda3. What a PITA, trying to find one with pins on 3/4" center. Finally managed to persuade a Canadian Tire store to loan us a kit to get the job done. Afterward, I...

I have a 2009 cx-9 AWD touring. When using light brake pedal there is an on/off/on/off scraping sound coming from the front passenger side wheel area. It is not a constant scaping, it appears to happen once per rotation of some part(on/off/on/off), and sometimes does not happen at all. The...

Hi, guys, I am a newbie here and I am looking for some help on my 2003 P5. I appreciate your attention and help in advance. I was replacing the brake pad on the right rear wheel and found out some problem: 1. the inner side pad was totally gone but the outer side is almost untouched; 2. rotor...

I just spent the better part of a day (start to finish) doing a brake pad and rotor replacement on my 2006 Mazda5 sport. It had 54,252 miles on it. The front rotors were badly warped (another issue that I will not get into here). They had been turned once, and were okay for awhile after that...

I just got back from a 1,000 mi or so road trip and now the front drivers side is grinding/vibrating when coasting at any speed. It doesn't happen when I accelerate or brake. It doesn't feel like a brake issue... help!!

Last summer I needed to replace all four rotors and pads and, finding myself in the US one weekend, had the job quoted and completed. Trouble is the mechanic could sling a wrench but not count to four - he only replaced the fronts. Still that fixed all the issues and out of laziness I dropped...

Since winter, when I drive for a couple of miles, the car starts to feel like my e-brake is on, during winter I was okay with it because I thought it was just built up salt, but now it still does the same and it feels weird and it sucks on the gas mileage too, anybody who had the same problem...

If any of you guys upgraded pads or rotors and still have functional parts that you are willing to get rid of, please let me know. I need both front and rear sets. Thanks! UPDATE! I've got all I need, thanks everyone!

soo i went out the other day and baught myself rotours for my car, had some fun trying to get the bracket for the caliper off finally managed to do that and replaced the rotours on the front. now the issue iim having is that when i drive on the high way or at high speeds, i step on the brakes...

Hi I am looking to buy some Mazdaspeed6 calipers, I already have the front rotors all i need are the front calipers and bracket setup, these are going onto my P5, shipping would be to 78250 San Antonio, TX please let me know thanks!

Does anyone know where to buy a set of 4 calipers for an 01 protege es 2.0?

Well, had been putting this off (saving money) for a long time and FINALLY had the work done this week. Overall I'm very happy with the results . . . they look great, but I haven't really had a chance to put them to the test quite yet. Without the 15 mm spacers (as you can see from the...
