This is exactly what I wanted to know!  My friendly Mazda dealer never told
me this, even after I asked SPECIFICALLY if there were any changes to the
braking stuff to help wet braking.

Guess what color my pads are?  They are green.  (Must not be ripe yet.)

Lester, thanks a bunch!! I knew we'd find the problem if we put our collective
heads (e-mail ids?) together.
And, thanks to all of you for putting up with my continued griping about stinky
brakes.  You may now return to your regularly scheduled threads.

Later,

PS I think this should go in the MCA magazine.  Anyone know if they have an
email id or monitor this listgroup?
