Akebono ProACT ACT1759 front brake pad for the 2014-2018 Mazda 3 and other vehicles is an ultra-premium ceramic pad designed to control noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) while it brakes.
- Akebono ProACT ceramic brake pads use OE-validated, application-specific ceramic formulations.
- Part of the ProACT Ultra-Premium line of disc brake pads.
- Pressure plates are precision-cut.
- Chamfers and slots are scientifically engineered for optimal braking performance and NVH control.
- Akebono originated ceramic brake technology and is the original equipment brand on more than 400 models.
Grinding or squealing when you brake, a longer stop or a pulsing pedal can mean the front pads are worn. Rotors, calipers and hardware can give similar signs, so during a brake service, look at how much friction material is left and at the rotor surface, with the engine off and the brakes cool.
The same disc brake pad set fits the 2014-2018 Mazda 3 Sport.

Akebono ProACT ACT1759 has scientifically engineered chamfers and slots plus precision-cut pressure plates, aimed at braking performance and NVH (noise, vibration and harshness) control.

Yes. 17-1759 is one of the other-brand numbers that Akebono ProACT ACT1759 replaces, along with 17D1759CH and CFC1759.
What noises can mean front ceramic brake pads are worn out?
Grinding or squealing when you brake can mean the pads are worn, and so can a longer stopping distance or a vibrating pedal. Don't keep driving on worn brakes; have them looked at promptly.
Is the ceramic formulation in Akebono ProACT brake pads the same for every car?
No. Akebono ProACT ceramic pads use OE-validated, application-specific ceramic formulations, so each pad's compound is matched to its application.
