Rear Brake Pads for Mazda RX-8

MPA Electrical 1003-1008M is a rear disc brake pad set for 2004-2011 Mazda RX-8 applications. It uses a semi-metallic friction material with pad shims and adhesive-backed shims to support consistent pedal feel, reduced noise, and controlled dust output.

Key Features

• Semi-metallic friction material for steady braking performance
• Application-specific friction formula for predictable pedal response
• Pad shims included to help reduce brake noise
• Adhesive-backed pad shim and integrally molded friction attachment
• Abutment clips included for proper pad seating
• New condition replacement part
• Part number: 1003-1008M

Detailed Description

Built for rear brake service on the Mazda RX-8, part number 1003-1008M is engineered to deliver smooth stopping performance across a wide operating temperature range. The semi-metallic compound is selected for balanced friction characteristics, while the included shims and abutment clips support quieter operation and more even contact at the caliper. This rear brake pad set is a practical choice for drivers looking to restore braking response on 2004-2011 Mazda RX-8 models without changing the original brake system layout. MPA Electrical 1003-1008M is focused on predictable braking behavior, making it a direct-fit service part for RX-8 rear brake maintenance.

What It Helps Address

• Squealing or brake noise from worn rear pads
• Reduced stopping performance from thin or glazed pads
• Uneven pedal feel during normal braking
• Excessive brake dust from deteriorated friction material
• Fade concerns during repeated braking events

Installation Notes and Tips

Inspect rotors, caliper hardware, and guide pins before installation. Clean the pad contact points, verify caliper movement, and apply brake lubricant only where specified by the vehicle service procedure, since lubricant is not included. Because mounting hardware is not included, reuse or replace any required service hardware as needed during brake pad replacement. Confirm rear-position fitment for 2004-2011 Mazda RX-8 applications before installation.

Quality Assurance

Quality-Built Black Series brake pad engineering emphasizes application-specific friction selection, low-noise operation, and stable braking performance. This part number 1003-1008M is a new replacement component built for rear brake service on the Mazda RX-8.
