MPA Electrical 1003-0172M Disc Brake Pad Set - Front

Overview

The MPA Electrical 1003-0172M disc brake pad set is built for older compact and subcompact applications that need consistent braking response and low-noise operation. It uses a semi-metallic friction formula with integrally molded construction, plus pad shims and abutment clips for a more controlled brake feel.

Fits 1972-1989 Mitsubishi Precis, front; 1986-1987 Hyundai Excel, front; and additional front applications including Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, and Mazda RX-3. The 1003-0172M part number is a direct reference for this application group.

Key Features

• Semi-metallic friction material for stable stopping performance.
• Application-specific friction formula for predictable pedal feel.
• Pad shims included for reduced brake noise.
• Adhesive-backed pad shim and integrally molded friction attachment.
• Abutment clips included for proper pad interface.
• New regular-grade disc brake pad set.

Detailed Description

MPA Electrical 1003-0172M is a disc brake pad set engineered for front brake service on a wide range of classic import and compact vehicles. The Black Series friction approach focuses on smooth engagement, low dust, and fade-resistant braking across a broad thermal range, making it a practical choice for drivers restoring or maintaining older brake systems. This part number, 1003-0172M, is associated with front fitments such as Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, and Mazda 808 applications.

The semi-metallic compound and included shims help support quieter operation and more even pad contact. With abutment clips and an adhesive-backed shim design, this brake pad set addresses common wear-related issues in aging brake assemblies while maintaining a predictable pedal response.

What It Helps Solve

• Brake noise during everyday stopping.
• Excessive brake dust buildup on wheels.
• Uneven or inconsistent pedal feel.
• Reduced stopping performance from worn front pads.
• Fade during repeated braking in varying temperatures.

Installation Notes

Compatible With front brake applications only. Verify rotor condition, caliper hardware condition, and pad fitment details before installation. This part is listed with pad shims and abutment clips included, while mounting hardware and brake lubricant are not included. Confirm the vehicle-specific notes, including the solid rotor note for Mitsubishi Precis applications, before ordering.

Quality Assurance

Quality-Built Black Series brake pads use application-specific friction formulas and a semi-metallic compound to deliver consistent braking characteristics and controlled noise levels. The 1003-0172M part number identifies this brake pad set within the Black Series line.
