Akebono ProACT Disc Brake Pad Set P/N:ACT1120
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.
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.
