Cool thanks for info. I am definately going to upgrade my pads, I have a little over 11,000 miles on my 8 and the brakes squeek. The rotors are in good shape, and the stock pads still have some pad left on them so I think it's just that they are cheap. Got to upgrade so hopefully can get rid od the squeek.

Hey Cortc,
It would be great if you could install just the pads first and evaluate one change at a time rather than installing both the pads and the lines at the same time. I’m interested in both the lines and the pads too, but want to upgrade one at time and I’m wondering if one is more effective than the other. Just a suggestion.

Irish: They look blue... Looks Ok though, very Mazdaspeed and most of them are covered by the calipers (I have some shots, will post tonight)... Maybe a little less dust, need more time to see the real difference...

THere it is cortc...
Beat you there :D
Don't you find the brake pad is excellent in initial braking - it is just what they said in the box.
I have broken in the pad and they are great.
There is a slight very high pitch noise that the very beginning of breaking which is ok I think. I can only hear that when winding the window down.
