Need something better then stock, any info would be appreciated

I'm close to 40K miles on my 2016 3s, and was starting to get some pulsing feeling in the brake pedal. Since i'm out of non-powertrain warranty i decided to go ahead and replace the rotors and pads up front. Pads were about due anyway and hoping the rotors were causing the pulsing. Sprung an...

Just had a weird thing happen. Bought new brake pads from Rockauto for my 2015 2.5GT. When I went to install them, they were the wrong size, both fronts and back. According to what they told me, I had purchased pads for a Mexixan built car instead of a Japanese built car. Why would they...

My 17 year old self cannot think straight some times.. I was removing the then ruined silver pinstripes, and, after removing it with a plastic razors and goo gone, i noticed glue residues under. I tried with every microfiber towel possible and goo gone but the adhesive wouldnt come off. I had...

I have a 2014 Mazda 3i touring 5 door 6MT. I bought the car used and had some brake shudder when I bought it so I knew the rotors were in bad shape, I ignored it for a few months as I didn't have the money at the time (the jeep needed it more). My first thought was to get the EBC greenstuff pads...

Hey All, A few days ago I noticed a very distinct noise coming from the rear of my 2014 iSport with only 22,000 miles. It did not sound like typical brake or suspension noise, more like a beeping or pinging. I had time at work one morning to get the car up and I was able to replicate the noise...

I'm looking to get OEM rear brake pads for my 2015 3, and the listing for part number B4Y02648ZB says "exc. Mexico Built". Mine is a Mexico built car. Does anyone have any insight into this and what could possibly be different about the brake pads between Japan and Mexico built cars? I can't...

Car: 2012 Mazda 3 i Mileage: 75XXX My Gf's 2012 MZ3 is experiancing uneven brake pad wear. The drivers side front pad wore down to the metal after only 10k miles. This is the second time this has happened (last time was not so extreme in terms of low miles) but now we think there is a bigger...

I have a 2015 2.5 GT 6spd, and I thought the rotors are larger on the GT (or maybe the 2.5). I'm trying to track down if, besides EBC, there are other pad options that exist. I can trace pad #s to see if anything cross references with another year/model but I'm having a hard time deciphering...

I decide to do a brake job on my son's 2009 3i with 50k miles. Front pads were worn pretty evenly, but rear outer pad was twice as worn as the inner pad, and this was true on both sides. Any ideas on what could be causing this. It doesn't appear to be a serious issue as the brakes stop fine...

So, I noticed this on my way home yesterday. The dash pad is coming up right at the radio and trip computer displays. I did a search and I've only seen a fleeting mention of it on another board but nothing beyond that. Here's some pics I managed to snap. Not easy to spot, but it should give...

Has anyone heard of availibility on replacement performance brake pads for 2014 M3? Apparently there are differences in Japan made versus Mexico made M3s.

Sooo... I think the manual said to check around 10,000 miles or something... I know with my previous car I had a few times where the pads wore through and I had to pay extra to replace the rest of the brakes..... I had them checked a month or 2 ago when I got my tires rotated and I think they...
