My previous post. http://www.c3vr.com/vrforums/need-some-help-on-brakes_message413370.html
So 877.00 for parts and 325.00 for labor and the car is now just right. The parts cost were my price and not dealers. I installed the parts. The labor was for getting 2 frozen rotors off on the front and brake bleeding done by one shop and then the dealer.
It seems that the ABS control unit and pump need to be purged using a special scanner tool that can operate the ABS to bleed the system.
Here's a brake down(pun intended.).
2 rear calipers, 2 rear rotors, 1 set premium pads, 2 rear axle hubs, 2 front calipers, 2 front rotors, 1 set premium pads, 1 new master cylinder(4 were bad out of the box!! 1 new & 3 reman), labor to remove rotors, labor to bleed system, dealer labor to bleed system.
I don't expect a brake job until 200,000 mile mark. I coated everything with anti=seize too
Please no more major repairs for a while. I still love my Mazda, it's a great car.

The starter is next on the list. It has a bad spot on it when starting. I am going to get it blessed so it will hold off until spring.
