Got my rotor installed a while back and just getting around to posting the pics. I also put on EBC Greenstuff brakes. I painted the outside of the pads so they wouldn\\\'t stand out. This summer I\'ll be painting the calipers. I had wheel bearing problems so Mazda replaced both front wheel bearings and hubs. Notice how the front hub is nice and shiny. Amazing how much it rusts when you look at the rear hubs :sarc.

Now all I need to do is install my H&R\\\'s and get rid of that wheel gap :D

They look good man. Hows the braking been since? brake dust lower substantially?

The braking is awesome. The pads squealed a little bit at first, but that\'s pretty much gone now. I still get the occassional peep, but that\'ll most likely dissappear soon as well (not sure if painting the backs of the pads contributed at all). Brake dust is a lot better. It\'s still there of course, but not in the insane amount of the stock pads, mostly just a light coating which is fairly easy to wipe off. I want to get some steel braided brake lines next

Did you use any anti-squeal on the pads before the install?

A local shop installed the rotors and pads for me and noted the squealing. They told me to bring it in again if it didn\'t dissapear after a few days. It\'s fine now except for the occassional peep (best way I can describe it) at around 10 kph. Not a sound when braking above or below that speed. I\'ll probably have them install my springs and have them take a look at the pads again. I imagine by then it will be all gone.
