| Not Ranked : 0 score FWIW, I went with the Carbotech Bobcats. They bite better. But in warmer weather, they squeal at low speeds. |

| Not Ranked : 0 score I just replaced my Fronts w/ DBA Slotted Rotors + Hawk HPS Pads Once they are worn in, these feel fantastic !. Im gonna go with Centric Blanks for the rear with Hawk HPS Pads again... They can squeal a little bit at very low speed, but they emitt almost no brake dust compared to OEM Pads... the front combo I have is well worth the money i spent...

 is probably sticking with OEM rotors. I don't think I'd do that with the Carbotechs when I replace the ones that I have. Other than that, I've been happy with them since they dont dust quite so fast, and the dust is lighter, so it's less noticeable over the OEMs. | |

| Not Ranked : 0 score There is nothing wrong with OEM rotors. IMO, they're one of the best options.

| Not Ranked : 0 score I originally ordered a set of the akebono's but the ones I received were the totally wrong part. So I needed to get pads on that day so it was either bend over at Mazda dealer or Posi Quiet Semi-Metallic Brake Pads from a local parts place. They have been on for about 7 months and they work great. They may have a bit less bite than the original pads but they are low dust and no noise and only $56 2007 Mazda 3 Posi Quiet Semi-Metallic Brake Pads, Posi Quiet Pads - Videos, Installations & Reviews
