#stockisbest.Stock is best?
I bought stock Mazda brakes for both front and rear. How come it doesn’t come with the brake accessories?
Or is it sold separately?
Pad clips and shims? These was not included in the original Mazda brake pads when I bought from a stockiest.What accessories you are referring to?

Alright. I was under the impression that these accessories should come included. Anyway I used back the old one.Nothing to worry about; mine did not come with those too.
Ok but any idea how much is the labour for to change the front and rear brake pads?No, brake pads only come with brake pads, that's the package. The rest are with the car.
$30?Ok but any idea how much is the labour for to change the front and rear brake pads?
Use back the old shims and clips. Last time from oem, also like this. Certain oem brand in order to be price competitive do not come with these.Pad clips and shims? These was not included in the original Mazda brake pads when I bought from a stockiest.
Could be around $50 for front n rear.Ok but any idea how much is the labour for to change the front and rear brake pads?
Just enjoy it. No need to fret. My prices might be based on 5 years ago pricing when labor is always about $30.I went to Autosaver was charged $80 for both front and rear.
What you wana achieve after the tune matters. non turbo engine, forget it lah. Dun waste $$. Again stock still best. Paging for big brother EJBAnyone tried to tune your Mazda 3 1.5A before? How is it and is there great difference?
Better pick up, not a lot, but the engine feels more responsive.Anyone tried to tune your Mazda 3 1.5A before? How is it and is there great difference?

Power increased but it's still a 1.5NA, good for daily spirited drive. Will it become better... yes but not exponentially. It feels like a true 1.5 after it's Stage 1 tuned.
FC better as well but honestly, if you're tuning for FC, save the money.
Where is big brother?大哥 is right!
This Mazda 3 1.5A the pick up is really bad. Need to press the accelerator pedal so hard for the car to pick up. Mine also Mazda 3Better pick up, not a lot, but the engine feels more responsive.
