okay, so my brakes suck, i got ss lines waiting to be installed, and i'm sure my MC is older than dirt, so i'm replacing it with a new one. mazdatrix has like 8 different ones, and i'm guessing i'd get the one for all rx-7's without AAS and ABS. what is AAS? i dont think i have ABS, but it's hard to tell since i can't lock up my tires.

also, i'm getting some new pads, most likely bonez. will i need anything else, like other brake hardware?

ABS is easy to tell if you have a giant square thing with metal hard lines going into on the passenger side by the turbo. AAS is only on the GXL's . it is the auto adjusting suspension.

okay, that checks out, now will an autozone MC due, or should i go mazdatrix? the autozone is $58 with a $40 core, and i have to choose between "standard" and "heavy duty suspension", is this just a different term for the AAS? the mazdatrix MC is $136, and i will also have to pay for shipping.

i would get the mazda trix, rebuilt mc's arent all that great

so mazdatrix is new? what about rebuilding calipers, worth it? i looked at haynes and fsm for details on this, and it looks like a pain. i'm going with pads, ss lines, and the MC for now. hopefully that will be good enough.

if you're not in the salt or racing the car the calipers last forever



mike

i'm in the salt and my rear calipers are fooked.

in the salt?

yeah, in an area that gets snow and salts the roads to make it melt. fucks your car up.
