ALERT! wrong ms3 brake pads sold at Autozone,Advance, Oriely

[Betelgeuse]

Brakes are one part of this car that shouldn't be skimped on, get yourself some good brakes, not that autozone cheapy crap (no offence).


Here's some info I swiped from one of the 'other' forums. Must give credit to CosmicBlueMS3 for posting this:

OEM Fronts # B3YF-33-23Z $130.70 through mazdaspeed motorsports
OEM Rears # C2Y3-26-48ZA $51.40 through mazdaspeed motorsports

Autoexe Sports $250
Autoexe Streets $105

Hawk HPS front: # HB549F.702 $80 rear: # HB478F.605 $64
Hawk HP PLUS front: # HB549N.702 $116 rear: # HB478N.605 $75 (price has most likely dropped since this post)

Hawk Blue 9012 front: n/a rear: # HB478E.605 ~$105/set
Hawk HT10 front: n/a rear: # HB478S.605 ~$145/set


I use the Hawk HPS and love them. This info could be here somewhere already but I'm not sure.
