My New Car

lol cass, they are both comparable imo.

brembo is just a lot more expensive. if i could have found brembo slotted for the front for the 6 i would have since thats what i had on my sentra, and i loved them. i see no need to upgrade to speed6 calipers and rotors. the stock size caliper is big enough imo. but i want the slots for better wet initial bite (it randomly rains like everday here) and better pad bite (the stock brakes suck after they get any kind of heat imo). i usually "double brake" but in the event of a panic stop, you cant always do that. doesnt help that the rotors on the 6 are starting to warp already (less than 25k miles) but the car has been through a lot of stop and go traffic.

All pretty much made by the same people. I'm just good enough at convincing local Z owners who have upgraded to get me their Brembo parts from the track package. Gotta love having a stock option for 'em!

Its a Mazda issue. Happened on the Speed3 pretty regularly.

good at convincing? there is always a perk to it

mazda issue? good to know. lets see how long these cyro slots hold up. i hope at least longer than the stocks, as they cost the same amount.

so i bedded in the pads to stoptechs instructions, and the pads along with the rotors are super quiet. brakes were smoking during the pad beddin sequence. had people looking at me like i was crazy when i was cooling them down, and they just stunk. they feel like the stock brakes with a little more bite, but when i really push on them they just grab unlike the stock ceramics. all in all im pleased. now time to order the backs to match, swap the lines, and flush with motul (since super blue is illegal in FL due ot it being blue) to get that super hard pedal bite.

I love the shade of blue.
