take the wheels off and check the wear on the brake pads and rotors.

Remove the calipers, and make sure that the "pins" that they are supposed to slide on are clean and well greased. If the caliper cannot slide easily on these pins, then your brakes will drag.

aftermarket

If you use aftermarket garbage (all and any) they are going to squeak
go to the Mazda dealer buy some oem brake pads - use the anti squeal
grease (THAT COMES WITH THE KIT)
