Are the mazdaspeed brakes (pic) the same size as the 06 GT brakes? Also, does anyone have any pictures of what these look like installed. The ones i saw in the search are the Endless ones.

they are slightly smaller on both front and back, so unfortunately they do leave a line of rust on the rotor..i'll take pictures at home, but they are wonderful.

So the surface area is a little smaller on the Mazdaspeed pads?
Is that front or rear or both.

Do the mazdaspeed brakes perform better than or atleast as well as the GT brakes?

those aren't brakes, they're just brake pads ...

I just realized that lol...do the pads have any effect on the braking?

Razz1

nothing worth mentioning. Not worth the money.

Go to Porterfieldbrakes.com

Razz1, you meant to say that we should get other brand instead of having the Mazdaspeed brake pad? Have you used one before? and why did you said it is not worth mentioning? For me, it is working perfectly well, lots of grip :-)

BlueRenesis82

yes lots of grip, until you see what you can get for less money from hawk, carbotech, etc etc

murix

I notice that the mazdaspeed brake pad or whatever the component of our brake is making squeal noise whenever I brake, is this normal? what do I need to do? Thanks guys.

mazdaspeed brake pads squeal because they are designed for peformance not convenience. Don't worry about it and if you don't like it switch to stockers.

how much better are from stock?

Thanks Mazdaspeedferas... As long as the squeal noise is normal, like you said, I am fine with it but sometimes it just feel like driving a fantastic car but with a lousy brake.. ;-) As I notice the fairlady's brembo disk which is also the performance brake pads don't squeal like ours...
