• Brake noise during normal street driving
• Uneven or inconsistent pedal feel from worn friction material

• Need for an OEM-spec ceramic replacement pad set

Installation Notes

Verify year, model, and front-position fitment before ordering. For 2001-2005 Mazda Miata, confirm the vehicle does not have sport suspension, since those applications are not compatible with this pad set. Inspect rotors, calipers, and pad hardware condition during brake service, and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s brake procedure and torque specifications.
