Mazda 3 BL (2008–2014)

On the Mazda 3 BL page, braking comes first in size as well as in order. Hawk has the most pads, from HPS and HP Plus up to DTC-70 and Blue 9012, EBC runs from Ultimax to Yellowstuff, and DBA, Pagid, Ferodo and PBS add more; street grades lead. EBC, DBA and Hawk one-piece discs come plain, slotted or drilled. Renew the pads, discs and fluid before a track day, then let a tyre fitter deal with tyres and alignment. Coilovers come from KW, ST, BC Racing, AP and H&R, some of them MPS versions, next to Eibach Pro-Kit and H&R lowering springs. Ultra Racing braces cover the shell, and ACT lists clutch parts and XACT flywheels. The hatchback and saloon are covered from 2008 to 2014.
