(Thread Starter) |  Corksport Brakes Pads - Mazdaspeed 3
 For anyone who has owned a Gen 1 or Gen 2 Mazdaspeed3 for any amount of time who enjoys spirited street driving will tell you, the stock brakes can fade quickly and give you an E ticket ride. Although our cars come OEM with top rate Ferodo compound, our floating single piston calipers do not properly apply pad pressure to the rotor. We also see a lot of fade when you push the car hard with increased braking. Ferodos OEM compound is not as aggressive as their various pad offerings and unfortunately for us, Ferodo doesn't offer us better compound selections. So, it leaves us searching, testing and ultimately wanting, better pad options for this car. Some move to the Hawk HPS or HP+ which offer better fade resistance, but do not deliver that initial bite we are used to with the OEMs. They also produce quite a bit of dust... Some of us have tried Carbotech AX6's, which are loud, fade, dust badly and grind. Their XP8 and XP10 compounds have been quite successful for track use however on this platform. So, what other options are available for those who don't want rotor eating, extremely noisy track pads? Corksport has a pad offering that answers these issues. Corksports new pads for the Gen 1/Gen2 MS3 produce that initial OEM bite while delivering a lot less fade when you push the car hard. The best thing about them, they offer low dust and absolutely NO noise. That's win win in my book. Since you are going to upgrade your brakes to performance pads, i recommend the purchase of stainless steel brake lines. Anytime you plan to move away from OEM pads, to performance pads, its a smart idea to change our your rubber OEM lines. Several reasons to move to ss lines are due to increased pedal feel and response... Secondly, safety. These really clean up the slop in your brake system and compliment the Corksport pads nicely. Please excuse the photograph quality.. i left my CF card in the computer and had to resort to an Apple product for images. 1 2 3 Next»
