All New 2017 Mazda 3

Good day everyone.
What would be a permanent fix to those noisy calipers (worn pins/guide)? Replace them with new pins? Replace the whole she bang to new ones or upgrade to a big brake setup?

If i go the bigbrake setup, what other stuff do i need to upgrade? Rims? Can you give me the whole specs of rims and tires for that. TIA

Pins are replaceable. There are two shops I know who have the parts: one is in Taytay and the other in Taguig. Yung BM ko nakapila na. As a workaround nilagyan lang nila teflon tape and binabad sa grasa.

Problem lang kasi since high heat yung sa brakes baka maluto yung teflon then balik sa dating malagutok... how long would the teflon last in high temperatures?

One month pa lang so far of daily driving and tahimik pa.

Ganito din ginawa sa rear disc brake ng Lancer EX GLX ng kapatid ko. Iyong pin binalutan ng teflon tape at nilagyan ng maraming hi-temp. grease. Sa Speedyfix ginawa.

Nawala ingay sa rear suspension, okay pa naman after 1 year, 2x a week na gamit. May reserve pin na siyang nabili naka-ready, pero hindi pa ginamit since okay pa, hehe.

For street use, PTFE(aka Teflon, trademarked by then DuPont) should be up to task. It's stable up to +260˚C, Decomposition is slow up to 400°C. Good for cookware, but can't last long in track abuse & won't survive open flames.

Thank you for the info sir! Kinda going nuts and being OC regarding the teflon use but now am relieved it will last until prob when i replace the brake pads.

Anytime, doc. Just remind yourself to use paddles(for engine braking) more for those downhill runs. That's when the brakes really heat up.

Brake caliper noise and workaround fix. Is the problem the same as this one?

not a fan of teflon fix
high risk of pin getting stuck

Exactly that. Nakakainis dahil ok naman ang ibang parts and bushings pero umiingay pa din. To confirm the issue inangat nila ang isang side then sinipa ang gulong. Dun pa lang rinig mo na ang rattle.
