Pads and Rotors
 Well, I have 36K on my PT and its time for pads and rotors ... oddly enough, the left rear rotor has a groove cut in it, but no noise coming from it .. the pads look ok externally, but I'm assuming that something is very wrong to cut that deep a groove ... anyway ... I don't see alot of discussion as to what kind of pads to get and if to replace the stock rotors with something cross-drilled and/or slotted. I've pried those beauties and they are about $90 - $100 each, so a little pricey for the commuting driving that I do (about 100 miles per day) .. unless someone knows of a cheaper supplier. Anyway ... someone give me their opinion and a website to goto to order the goodies I need. Thanks |

The search feature will find you a lot of brake pad discussion.
Search for the keyword: Wagner MX-841

Is that a ceramic???
Hey MX --- Is the Wagner MX-841a ceramic??? Do you have the part number for the NAPA ceramic??? the Raybestos ceramic??? and which do you think is the best?
It was also suggestied that I just have the rotors turned rather than replace them at this point ... my experience with turned rotors is they warp rather quickly ... what do you think??? and if I replace, should I get OEM or something like PowerSlot??? Thanks |

I upgraded to the NAPA premium Application Engineered rotors.
They work fine. The NAPA ceramic is CMX7716 The premium NAPA pad is AE7716M The Wagner MX-841 is the top-shelf Wagner pad. Wagner manufactures the OEM pad to Mopar's specs. The MX series is a lot better. The ZX series is below the OEM pad and is sold by Mopar under the "value line" pads.

MX-5, does the GT use the same rotors and pads as the non-turbo? I know that the brake calipers are different (larger) on the GT.

OEM rotor numbers are:
ROTOR, Brake 4509 994AA [BRB, BRT] 5273 141AA [BR4] Here's the NAPA rotors from www.napaprolink.com Product ........................................# In Stock ...................... Sugg. List UP 86955 Hub/Rotor Assembly......4.00.........................95.59 Comment : Non-Turbo Rotor Only. UP PR86551L Performance Rotor.....0 ..........................148.07 Comment : Non-Turbo Rotor Only. UP PR86551R Performance Rotor....0.00 ......................148.07 Comment : Non-Turbo Rotor Only. UP 86551 Hub/Rotor Assy-Rear...........0 ............................28.56 Comment : Non-Turbo Rotor Only. As you can see, NAPA does not have the 2003 GT turbo brakes listed in the system yet. Give them a year or so for the OEM to release data.
