    2016 CX-5 rotors rusted, brakes gone at 24,645 miles = $900

    Is it normal to need 4 new rotors and pads on a CX-5 every 25,000 miles? Someone over on Reddit pointed me here. I read the thread about the EPB issues. I've called the dealer and they didn't think it applied and that it's just what happens if you drive in Chicago. My Mazda CX-5 has about...

    Warped Rotors?

    Hi all, I own a 2007 Mazda 3 GT and recently I notice that when I hit the brakes my steering wheel starts to shake. Could this be because my rotors are warped? If they are warped should I have them machined or buy new rotors? Any info will be greatly appreciated. :(

    2002 Protege5 No Brake Pedal Pressure

    Hi, I have an odd problem. I replaced my rear callipers and rotors and pads recently, and then bled the brakes. Which seemed to work fine. I replaced all the aforementioned only because it was time, there was no other brake issue. After a week of driving the car brake pedal became slow and...

    Warped rotors

    Whenever I go visit my dad, I drive Angeles Forest HWY (google it). Fun road. But for the second time in a year, I've 'warped' my rotors. Anyone else have to deal with warped rotors on their 6? Would drilled or slotted rotors be better than regular rotors? Seems like it would only really...

    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...

    My experience with EBC Sport slotted/dimpled rotors.

    You must be logged in to see attachments! As you can see from the above pictures these rotors did not last long. They were on my car for exactly 3 years and just happen to have 30679 miles on them. From my experience with EBC I do not recommend these as the rust is extreme. Before I...
