Brake pads Project Mu or OEM Mazda
2021 Mazda 3 same original set of brakes at 30K miles.
Back in the early 1980s I remember how peer pressure kept guys at our Mazda dealerships from blowing brakes clean during inspections and repairs.
Pretty happy with my PMU 999s. They’re a step down from csgs but so much cheaper even with tariffs on imports.
I put 220,000 miles on a Mazda six sport automatic transmission 2015 before my son wrecked it without doing anything except changing in the brakes and some steering parts and of course oil changes synthetic it had started to use a little oil between changes maybe a quart.
IMO the best are Project MU-HC+. in my Megane RS I could treat the HC+ as a track pad and go all-out for a full session, they'd just wear pretty fast at high temps
The pads seem to last forever on the street, and work really well on the track/ when warm
Pacific Mazda has been okay; they only pushed an unnecessary break maintenance so far.
Probably need to change the brake pads if they are uneven or glazed.
Mazda. Brakes. Suck. I’ve owned 2 6s. A 2018 and a 2021. Both needed brakes at around 20k. DO NOT REPLACE WITH MAZDA OE BRAKES. Or you’ll just be in the same boat again. Buy a set of PowerStops and be done with it.
I've been replacing the brakes on my 2019 since it hit about 25k or so, rear have been done twice (I'm at 62k now and just did them the second time) and the front were done around 30k. My dealership outright told me Mazda brakes are garbage and these vehicles are not made for Canadian winters (regardless of what their advertising says). This new set is aftermarket so hopefully better but seriously my brakes have been so corroded it's unbelievable.
