Now THAT is good advice.

I did rear brakes on a Mazda 3 this summer ( what a coinkidink!) and the parts guy gave me rotors for a 2.5 liter car instead of a 2.3. It was a bit tight getting the calipers back on, but I didn't clue in until I got it all bolted back together and the wheels wouldn't turn. Rotors were about 3/8 to big in circumference. Took them back the next day and he said, "huh! Yeah, wrong ones"
