Quiet, low-dust stopping starts with the Akebono ProACT ceramic brake pads (P/N: ACT1728), a front-axle disc brake pad set built around OE-validated, application-specific ceramic friction. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 2014-2018 Mazda 3, the 2014-2018 Mazda 3 Sport, and the 2016-2021 Mazda CX-3 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.

  • Ultra-premium ceramic formulation: OE-validated and application-specific, so the friction material is matched to the listed Mazda 3 and CX-3 platforms.
  • Precision-cut pressure plates: the ceramic pad material is bonded to precision-cut backing plates for consistent pad-to-rotor contact.
  • Engineered chamfers and slots: scientifically designed chamfers and slots support braking performance and NVH (noise, vibration and harshness) control.
  • Everyday-driving benefits: compared with conventional semi-metallic pads, ceramic friction runs cleaner with less visible dust and quieter operation for a smooth, consistent pedal feel in daily street driving.

Akebono Brake Corporation, an originator of ceramic brake technology and an original-equipment supplier, develops its friction with a focus on noise, vibration and harshness analysis. For balanced, even braking, it's best practice to service the pads on both wheels of the axle together as a matched set.
