Designed for quiet, smooth front-wheel stops, the BOSCH brake pad set, part number BE957H, is a front disc brake pad set built as a direct-fit replacement for the 2003-2004 Mazda 6. It draws on Bosch's OE braking heritage dating back to 1927.
Brake pads press against the rotor to create the friction that slows your vehicle, and the friction material wears thin over time. Signs your pads may need replacing include squealing or grinding when braking, longer stopping distances, or pad material that looks worn down on inspection. Other brake components can cause similar symptoms, so inspect the full system before replacing parts. Replace the pads on both front wheels at the same time for even, balanced braking.

What helps keep these pads quiet?
Pre-attached OE-style multi-layer shims bond rubber and steel layers to help dampen noise. The included synthetic lubricant helps reduce resistance at the sliding contact points.

A product coating on the pad helps prevent rust and corrosion, which helps increase the product life of the brake pad.
