How many miles on your back brakes?

I'm at 159k miles... I'm worried the calipers aren't even working anymore..

I think you need to take them apart for an inspection

Me thinks you're right.

Does Mazda sell new seals for the calipers?

 

[Lex2007]

Rotors were at 12 mm and glazed. Pads were 2/3rds worn. Slide pins were dry. God knows how long these have been glazed.

Yeah brake job miles wise is good. Consider the brass brake caliper bushings from Damond Motorsports. Amazing!

Too spendy...$75.... Although i have had uneven pad wear in front.... Might help.

 

[Raider]

The difference is worth it.

To me, better brake feel. Smooth.

I would say the Damond kit makes for more responsive braking. When you hit the brakes it has a slightly firmer pedal. Combine those F/R with new steel braided hoses and you'll notice a big improvement. Especially with the right pad/rotor combo.
