brake pads
I second that. When I bought the 99 a few months ago it had very aggressive
front pads. I accidentally locked them up momentarily two or three times trying to get used to them. Plus PO had given me a set of new rotors, no wonder, they were almost worn thru! You've got to watch out for that if you go with aggressive pads.

I am very familiar with the phenomenon you describe, but only on motorcycles. I've never experienced it on a car, and certainly not on my '99 Miata, which should have identical brakes. I *think* my '99 has stock Mazda pads. I wonder what the difference is between our two cars. |

brake pads
Your wet braking issue may be the same as the one occurring with the 99's.
There is a revised shield or back plate that was used when owners complained of poor braking in wet weather. The issue was largely ignored by Mazda in the US. I had wet weather braking problems with my 99. At the time, Mazmart in Atlanta had a barn full of NB Miata's with front end damage. I spent several hours on the phone with mazda customer service. First, they refused to admit there was a problem or that alternate parts were available. Next when presented with the revised part numbers, they tried to say that the parts were for european versions only. I was given the name of a mazda person within miata support who was knowledgeable concerning the issue. Shortly thereafter, the dealer was installing the revised parts under warrenty. There was a thread concerning the wet braking issue on the miata.net forums. I used Hawk pads as well, and found that they wore rapidly, made a constant mess on the rims, and when it was time to replace them, I ended up replacing the rotors as well as returning to stock pads.

I wonder what the difference is > between our two cars. Driving conditions. Miatas have always had a problem with the initial brake application after extended highway driving in very heavy rain. I only see it in frog-strangler conditions, and I get into the habit of dragging the brakes periodically and planning ahead for exits. Keep plenty of room in front of you in bad weather, and it's just not that big a deal. The "solution" is worse: horrible dusting, noise, and rapid rotor wear. -- Lanny Chambers '94C, St. Louis http://www.hummingbirds.net/alignment.html |
