View Full Version : Blue Mazda speed brake pads Dinhx8 10-20-2004, 03:10 PM Interested in getting the Mazda Speed brake pads for my 8 (they are on finishlineperformance.com, listed as 144 per pair.) Anyone have these..how much to install? Are they visible and how do they look? Just curious.... Nemesis8 10-20-2004, 03:13 PM Have you already worn yours out? If you do decide to get these, make sure you bed the pads properly and they will work great. Dinhx8 10-20-2004, 03:49 PM No, I really was gonna get them for an aesthetic/ then performance upgrade.... what did you mean by bedding them? And how visible are they thru the wheel? nice ride btw.... TheDosDog 10-20-2004, 04:40 PM I have seen them installed on a forum members 8. They show blue if that is the desired aesthetic effect. However, the same forum member that installed them said Hawks are a better value. Nemesis8 10-20-2004, 04:50 PM TheDosDog is right again - Hawks are better. I think Racing Beat sells them. AS for bedding brakes, just Google the term "bedding brakes" It should return lots of sites with how to do it, which I won't repeat here. 93silverFD 10-21-2004, 02:30 PM He said bed, not bleed. Dinhx8 10-21-2004, 04:29 PM Cool, thanks all- If I get em, I'll try to post a picture and let all know how it went.. kellybrf 10-23-2004, 02:00 PM do 10 90% stops from 20mph, 10 from 40 and 10 from 60 to properly break in (bed) the pads. youll have a lot of smoke and smell, dont worry about this. itll heat them up properly, which allows the compound to bond properly. you want to do this w/in a day or two of installing them |
