My 2020 needed front pads at 24k, rear at 32k. I installed Powerstop kits instead of oem.
Reviews of spare parts for Mazda
My 2018 Mazda6 GT needed rotors and brakes at 47,000KM so 28K miles checks out. I put on power stops.
Firstly, thank god you’re getting rid of the stock Falkens, because they’re garbage. But as far as the brakes, it’s common. Mazda OE brakes are notoriously short lived. If you don’t want to be right back in the same boat in another 20,000 miles, put on a set of PowerStops or R1 Concepts and you’ll not have to worry about it again for a long time.
So to create some perspective, my AR1’s on a small light car (Miata), lasted for 5 track days. Assuming an average of 20 mins per session, and around four sessions in morning and four in afternoon, we can assume I’m doing around 160 minutes or driving per day. So in theory I put 13 hours on those tyres!
Mishimoto radiator, all under trays intact, vented carbon hood, dual rotary performance oil cooler thermostats, and mazdaspeed front bumper. She stayed a steady 205.
I placed the thicker koyorad in there and fixed a lot of issues, together with hood vents helped me getting my drift car cool.
Our household got its first EV earlier this year, mainly for the daily 20-25 km commute form my SO, and it’s been the best car purchase we’ve ever made (only bested by my 3, which made it to 10y w/o problems this year). That “small battery” that once worried us (or more like we intentionally went with the smaller offering)? Barely a drawback - in the summer, a single charge lasts a whole week. This EV has become our go-to for short trips, and while cutting running costs by 2/3 was a big motivator, it’s now just a nice side benefit. I love the torque and started to love the silent driving. especially in a traffic jam.
My OEM 2022 Mazda 3 tire blew 4 months of ownership. Replaced all of them with westlake, no issue except to those incidents na need i vulcanize kasi malas sa pako.
Kung daily driving lang, okay sila.
I put Monroe quick struts on my Mazda 3 about a year ago. The rubber boots have disintegrated and they're rusting already.
it was the Autolite spark plugs. Had car towed to my mechanic. They replaced with spec NGK and the car is running fine.
