Brake Squeal Solved by Mazda, new TSB
Mazda had released a new TSB regarding front brake squeal. This applies to th "sport package" which has the 18" wheels and larger brakes.The TSB requires the dealer to change your front pads with a new redesigned pad and also insert shims. I had this done this past week and I am thrilled with the results. No squeal at all. It was getting pretty embarassing to pull up to a stop sign in a brand new, cool as hell car and hearing eeeeeeeeeeeeek. If you have this problem, get it back to the dealer ASAP. TIP- tell them the brakes squeal all of the time otherwise they may not do it.....

I havent read the board in a week and this is the first post I have seen of it. So maybe you just jumped the gun a bit about telling someone to search.

I have heard that they do not. I imagine there is more graphite/ less metal to reduce the squeal.
To hell with that! I'd rather have loud, but good brakes.
