Mazda Brake Pads Buying Guide

What They are

A crucial part of your vehicle's disc brake system -- the textured surfaces on top of its brake calipers.

What They Do

Help slow the vehicle's wheels and stop its tires. They do it by producing friction between the calipers and the brake rotors as they contact one another.

What Types There are

• Organic brake pads: these are ideal for everyday driving, being dependable, easier on rotors, cost-effective, and minimal dust producers.
• Ceramic brake pads: these are more durable, reliable in varying weather, and quieter, and their dust is less sticky.
• Metallic/semi-metallic brake pads: these work better at high heat, feel firmer, and resist brake fade.
• Carbon fiber brake pads: these are highly resilient and superior operators at high temperatures, and they deliver ultimate stopping power.

When to Change Them

It depends on how you drive and where, but most often, every 40,000 to 50,000 miles.

The Signs They May be Going Bad

• Warning lights on the dashboard
• Pad wear and/or damage
• Whiny or vibrating brakes
• Longer slowdown and stop times
• Grinding noises
• Warped or damaged rotors
