Quiet, low-dust Akebono ProACT ceramic brake pads (P/N ACT1729) bring OE-validated stopping to the rear axle of your Mazda. This rear disc brake pad set drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2014-2018 Mazda 3, 2014-2018 Mazda 3 Sport, and 2016 Mazda CX-3 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.
ProACT Ultra-Premium pads use OE-validated, application-specific ceramic formulations built on precision-cut pressure plates, with scientifically engineered chamfers and slots for consistent braking and NVH control.
- Application-specific ceramic: OE-validated formulation matched to the listed vehicles.
- Precision-cut pressure plates: a machined backing for accurate pad-to-caliper fit.
- Engineered chamfers and slots: tuned for noise, vibration and harshness control.
- Everyday ceramic benefits: whisper-quiet stops and ultra-low, light-colored dust compared with conventional semi-metallic pads, plus a smooth, consistent pedal feel during daily street driving.
From Akebono Brake Corporation, the originators of ceramic brake technology and an original-equipment brand installed on more than 400 models. For balanced, even braking, it's best practice to replace the pads on both sides of the axle as a matched set.
