Keep your rear disc brakes seated, quiet, and moving freely with the Dynamic Friction Company Disc Brake Hardware Kit (P/N 340-80017). This rear-position kit supplies the fresh clips, springs, and mounting hardware that locate the brake pads, maintain proper clearance against the caliper, and help control the vibration that leads to rattle and squeal. It's a direct-fit hardware refresh for the 1994-1997 Mazda Miata, 1995-1998 Mazda Protege, 1997-2003 Ford Escort, 1997-1999 Mercury Tracer, and 1999-2002 Mazda Miata.
Because hardware fatigues, corrodes, and loses tension with every heat cycle, replacing it during a pad change restores the correct fit and free pad movement that worn clips can't. DFC builds this brake hardware kit to hold up in the harsh brake environment:
Installing fresh hardware alongside new pads and rotors is the best practice for even, quiet rear braking.
What does this disc brake hardware kit do?
It provides the clips, springs, and mounting hardware that locate the rear brake pads, keep proper clearance, and help control the vibration that causes brake rattle and squeal.
Which vehicles does the DFC 340-80017 fit?
It's a direct-fit rear hardware kit for the 1994-1997 and 1999-2002 Mazda Miata, 1995-1998 Mazda Protege, 1997-2003 Ford Escort, and 1997-1999 Mercury Tracer. See the Buyer's Guide tab for full details.
Is this for the front or rear brakes?
This kit is cataloged for the rear disc brake position on the listed applications.
Should I replace hardware when I change my brake pads?
It's recommended. Clips and springs fatigue and corrode over time, so fresh hardware restores proper pad fit and free movement that worn parts can't provide.
Why does the hardware need heat and corrosion resistance?
The brake area sees high temperatures and exposure to road salt, moisture, and brake chemicals, so the kit is built to resist corrosion, heat, and chemical attack.
