Quiet, confident stops start with the right friction, and this Bosch brake pad set (BE663H) is built to service the rear axle. It drops in as a direct-fit rear disc brake pad replacement for the 1997-2003 Ford Escort, 1995-1998 Mazda Protege, and 1997-1999 Mercury Tracer. Bosch draws on its OE braking heritage, using platform-specific friction material — NAO-ceramic and semi-metallic formulations — formulated and tested by Bosch engineers for the application.
Signs your rear pads may need replacing include squealing, longer stopping distances, or thin friction material. If worn pads are the cause, this set provides fresh friction material for the rear axle. Replace the pads on both sides together as a matched set for even, balanced braking, and check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the engine and formulation for your vehicle.
