Would like to also know as well. There are crossdrilled/slotted rotors for the Mazda3, which I would like to try.

As long as they fit a 2.3L, not a 2.03 series, they should fit your 5.
Pretty much the entire working/rolling chassis is the same ffrom 3 to 5.

Mr moderator,
During yourmomentous passage, I would make sure at the apex of your turn, all four of my small children moon you.
Causing you to spin out of control, into the piles of hay, like an old "Herbie" movie.

Yeh, it still does seem funny the mazda5 being on the same platform.

Mannnn...... When I got this message in my inbox I thought, "Jeez, what did I do to deserve this treatment?" I know that I am not always policallycorrect and business outstanding... by design actually, but I had remembered my post here.
Now I see which Moderator you are referring to.
