So I'm about to replace the front pads (possibly rotors...I'll decide when I'm into it) on my 2007 Mazda 3 sport GT. I have 2 questions:
1: I've done brakes on my fair share of cars, so I'm fairly experienced, however I've not touched my or any other Mazda for that matter. Is there anything 'funky' I have to know about? I assume pads come out & in pretty normal, the caliper bolts are a standard Allen Key..etc?
2: Pads. I've read the sticky, but it seems there's not much comparison to both quality and longevity to OEM. While I've always found the Mazda brakes VERY grabby, I'd like to keep it similar in pedal feel as it's mostly my wives car and I'll never hear the end of it
The price I was quoted for OEM fronts was $118. That's a fair amount, but I'm not after the cheap crap either. My Sunfire runs on complete NAPA brakes....and boy do I regret it.
Thanks!!
