jeez, how much rear brake bias have you got.

Yes, definitely worried. Do you know if it was original Mazda or an aftermarket replacement?

Never seen the like of it.
Surely aftermarket...not sure any factory discs are slotted? DBA or Brembo or whoever would be mortified if it was one of theirs and would be keen to analyse the remains, I would have thought (and possibly replace it (and the one on the otherside) for free! :shock:

Seen it before at work,Normally due to sized brake calipers,I see it has wheel spacers as well which will add undue side forces as well,.
Brake disc are a lot softer than they used to be now days,doesn't matter where they are made or who made them either.
Definitely aftermarket ,Check his garage section DBA weren't they ?

I don't think they are spacers, Brownie, it is the top hat section of the disc.
