Mazda parts reviews

Mine cost me $1117 to replace and it cracked in that same spot! I wanted an oem one so that’s why I cost that much!

I have them for my Not a Mazda, so much better than the Goodyear assurance garbage that it came with. They don't wheel hop in rain, they barely slip and can handle harder cornering, and they took me through 12" of snow in a vehicle that doesn't have 12" of ground clearance. Well worth it.

I recently changed the coolant in my 2020 CX-5 with genuine Mazda prediluted FL22. The reason I change the coolant is corrosion protection. The corrosion inhibitors in coolant deplete with both time and mileage. Many aftermarket coolants may not be formulated with the identical corrosion protection chemical strategy found in the Mazda FL22 coolant. Using an aftermarket coolant is a risk I am not willing to take. My cooling system remains safe from corrosion. Using my schedule I will not have coolant and internal corrosion issues for as long as I own my car. Peace of mind is worth it to me.

If you're keeping the vehicle (make sure you're keeping it), then I second getting the raybestos from Rockauto. Make sure you get the raybestos element 3 fully coated rotor and pad sets.

Even if your friend's dad does it free, maybe drop him $100 or $200 for the labor.

So $200 total. And less dust than OEM with decent stopping power. I went with this combo cause it's balanced stopping power and rotor longevity.

I'm going with Akebono ProACT for less dust.

The OEM rotors wear very quickly. The OEM pads are Akebono semi organic which are actually pretty good. However the OEM pads create a ton of brake dust which makes the wheels look terrible. When I replaced mine about a year ago I went the aftermarket route and used Raybestos rotors and pads.

I dumped mine around 30K, probably too late actually. Have run Pirelli's ever since (90K miles now) and I will continue to do so....they've worked out well and I get around 40K on a set.

Got a chip in the second week after I bought my 2023 CX5. It was so frustrating, I was passing a slow truck and it had just rained and there was some gravel on the road. The rock was huge though, so I think that was the major issue. I have had small rocks hit the windshield but they did not have any impact.

Tires (Toyo) are HORRIBLE and noisey garbage.

I replaced the garbage Toyo tires with Pirelli Scorions at 4000 miles. One road trip with the OEM tired was enough I wanted rod of them.
