Black Series Brake Pad Line
The Quality-Built Black Series line focuses on brake system balance, using friction compounds tuned for stable pedal feel and fade resistance across a wide temperature range. For Mazda 3 front brake service, 1003-2218C is matched to the application rather than a one-formula-fits-all approach.

These ceramic disc brake pads are a direct-fit front replacement for 2019-2025 Mazda 3 and 2019-2025 Mazda 3 Sport models. The ceramic friction material is selected to support quiet operation, reduced brake dust, and smooth engagement during everyday driving.

What It Helps Address
- Squealing or noisy front brake operation

Installation Notes
Verify front axle fitment before installation on your Mazda 3 or Mazda 3 Sport.

Use the included shims, hardware, and abutment clips as specified for the application. Part number 1003-2218C should be matched to the confirmed front fitment listed for 2019-2025 Mazda 3 and Mazda 3 Sport.
