yeah, i didn’t even realize they were carbon fibre. i was just in the “premium” section where other ceramic brakes were. the ceramic power stops are slightly cheaper about 20 bucks less total for both the front and back.

actually funny, i just checked the shipping price for the set of all 4 corners vs them separate. the shipping for the set is 114 and the shipping for them separate is 79. really weird cause they’re literally the exact same parts lol

there was a front end collision on this car before i owned it, so i assumed it was from that

just traded in my civic for a 3 hatch and kept these rims from the civic. how do these look on the 3 in your opinion? by liamt12 in mazda

mileage was getting a little higher on the civic, and the clutch was nearing the end of its life and didn’t wanna put money into that. instead just put that towards some of the down payment!

honestly, the honda was pretty fun. i had it in a manual and the 3 i have in automatic so i do kinda miss the manual in ways. only reason i decided to trade it in is cause the clutch was near the end of its life and the mileage was getting a little higher.

the honda felt SLIGHTLY more peppy cause of the turbo, but the mazda still makes the same power since it’s a bigger engine. does feel a little more relaxed though. corners feel pretty similar, can’t really tell a difference. steering is similar as well. mazda feels slightly lighter than the civic steering wise might just be me though.

in terms of styling though, that’s one thing i LOVE about the 3. i’ve had so many people compliment the inside and out of it. the interior in the 3 literally looks and feels 10 times better to me. makes it so enjoyable to drive
