You'll be fine with those pads, your final lap should always be a cool down lap and when you park your car never use the E brake. I use the same brake pad and have been tracking on them for 3 years now, 28 days on them last year.
Ravenol on amazon has FL22 coolant, it’s what I used on my 2012 and my car is running perfect 6 months later.
I've got a set of Mintex ones, reasonably cheap and work well for the street.
The oil was Idemitsu Synthetic 0W-20 with 12.5k miles on it. Once again, trace metals and flashpoint were within normal range. I also ordered a TBN to measure the amount of additive left and that showed there was still plenty of active additive remaining.
There are only a couple brands that have the special snap connector that the newer Mazdas need. The Trico Exact Fit 24-17B (driver) and 18-17B (passenger) work great.
I drove pretty regularly all winter. It was getting to the point that the stock summer Bridgestones were getting scary in the cold and wet with very little grip. So, in that respect it was a huge improvement in cold weather handling. If we're comparing ideal condition, yeah the winters do not perform nearly as well. The turn in isn't quite as sharp and responsive, there's less steering feedback, and the limits of grip were lower, which was especially noticeable under hard braking. Still, this car is intended to be my primary form of transportation and I didn't want to stop driving it just because it was cold or raining. So, while it was a bit of a handling detriment compared to ideal conditions, it still had plenty of grip for the street and still put a smile on my face every time I got behind the wheel.
I used the EVOLUTION GEOMET COATED ROTOR BRAKE KIT from PowerStop on my Gen 1. Worked great, lasted long, lot less brake dust.
I had a 2009. I replaced the rear shocks, they were gone by 50K.
Glad I found this. Just purchased my cx-30 premium and same issue. Noticed it within 5 minutes after leaving but convinced myself I just needed to adjust to my new car. I don’t think that’s how it works. You can either see well or you can’t. And I can’t. I’m super bummed out. It’s so disorienting.
I just got my Mazda CX30 and I’m experiencing the same problem! I have to call and get it replaced. Definitely not safe to drive like that, hard to totally focus on the road and gives me a headache.
