It fits many vehicles as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications, among them the 2007-2013 Mazda 3, 2006-2013 Volvo C70 and 2004-2011 Volvo S40.
This low-metallic disc brake pad set belongs to Dynamic Friction's DFC 5000 Advanced line. It uses selected friction materials designed to meet the demands of modern vehicles with ABS and automated braking systems.
When the brakes are applied, the pads press against the spinning rotor to slow the wheel. As the friction material wears thin, stopping feel and noise can change. This set is cataloged for the front position, so it is a match if you are shopping for 2010 Mazda 3 brake pads for the front axle. Replace the pads on both front wheels at the same time for even, balanced braking. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full fitment list and engine details.
