Brake pads OEM Mazda or OEM Audi
I saw a review of the GTI with the PP and the reviewer said the brakes on the PP are the same brakes used on the Audi S3.
Pros: same as Audi S3
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
They replaced everything brakewise, pads/discs/calipers/.. and everything on charge of Audi ofc.
Vehicle:
Audi
Back in March I got fed up with the B5 platform shenanigans and started shopping for a Subaru... Upon entering the Mazda dealer, I got the typical \"We don't have the exact one you want in manual, but we do have this...\" and I decided to humor the salesman. Lo and behold, a 2012 Mazdaspeed 3 appeared before me... With 263 ponies and 280 ft/pounds of I could dead, the MS3 has proven itself to be the best possible car that a 23 year old male could own.
Pros: handling is unreal, stock brakes good
Cons: violent torque steer, premium gas
Vehicle:
Mazda 3
Mileage: 48000 km
I've done lots of jobs that don't involve getting inside the engine, such as replacing brake rotors/pads, alternators, starters, shocks, accessory/alternator belts, etc.
Pros: replaced brake rotors/pads
Vehicle:
Audi TT
If this is going to take off you need to make sure it will work for those with upgraded brakes, specifically the Audi 8 pot and 362mm ap discs setup.
Vehicle:
Audi
On a positive note- the brakes were sporty car firm and easy to modulate even with these tires.
Pros: sporty car firm
Vehicle:
Mazda
The bigger brakes are strong, but the gearbox is obstructive. Steering response is instant and - to your eyes anyway - the MPS corners flat and hard. But wide, high, soft part-bucket seats send the opposite message to your brain , giving the uncomfortable impression the car is rolling in corners.
Pros: strong brakes, instant steering
Cons: obstructive gearbox, soft seats
Vehicle:
Mazda 3
I found a nominal improvement in braking power and feel with the 12.3". But as NOVAdub stated, the biggest impact was on repeatability.
Pros: improvement in braking power
Vehicle:
Audi TT
In my experience the OEM Mazda Miata "Value" brake pads have absolutely horrible initial bite characteristics and require much more pedal pressure to achieve a given level of deceleration than aftermarket performance oriented brake pads.
Cons: horrible initial bite
Vehicle:
Mazda
If you want an honest oppinion, do not run these brakes, just get yourself a corrado set up w/ good pads and you will be more than happy.
Cons: heavy
Vehicle:
Audi
