Mazda parts reviews

I have about a year on mine and to me they feel ultra quiet after driving around on the stock Toyos for the first 30k miles… and the ride is really smooth and responsive in hard rain (SoCal)

QuietCast pads are a solid choice. Centric is an OEM supplier and those are a fully coated rotor, so also a solid choice. If you want to spend a little extra, I’d go for Akebono pads. I ran their pad and rotor kit on my old Mazda 3 and they worked phenomenally but, ate through the pads pretty quick under normal city driving. No issues up until I sold the car.

Best brakes I ever had were Powerstop plain rotors and Brembo pads

Those should be a very good combo. I ran Centric rotors on my 2012 Gen2 with good results.

I would recommend the TRW ultra pads from the official ZF store on eBay. $50 total for front and rear. They’re a tier 1 oem supplier, and the ultra line is their premium aftermarket offering. Similar to akebono and the pro act line which isn’t available for the 4th gen. The solid Bosch rotors would be a good choice. Centric as well.

Honestly for everyday driving the Bosch and centric is a good combo. The powerstop are very grabby and have a bit more stopping power but it’s not worth the extra money, plus long term normal rotors are better. Drilled/slotted don’t have as much durability

Yes to the Bosch/Centric combo. No to drilled rotors on a daily driver.

I’m at 85k in my 2016 Miata. No carbon problems but I did have a high pressure fuel pump give out - though I’m told it’s a freak accident.

I am currently riding passenger in a terrestrial downpour in Florida. The highest speed if these wipers is a joke. I have had many cars before this and this “high speed” was a lot closer to the mid speed of my previous vehicles. Super disappointed Mazda thought this was enough.

I have the crappy toyo tires and am actually shopping around for better tires.
