Shopping for a Mazda 3 brake pad that stops quietly and wears well? The Dynamic Friction Company DFC 5000 Advanced Brake Pads (P/N 1551-0915-20) are a low-metallic front disc brake pad set that installs on the 2007-2013 Mazda 3, 2006-2013 Volvo C70, 2004-2011 Volvo S40, and 2005-2011 Volvo V50. See the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the engine for your vehicle.
The DFC 5000 uses a low-metallic friction formulation. Squealing, grinding, a pulsing pedal, or longer stopping distances are signs your front pads may need attention — diagnose the cause before replacing. As with any brake job, it's best practice to service the pads on both sides of the axle together for even, balanced braking.
What vehicles does this front brake pad set fit?
It fits the 2007-2013 Mazda 3, 2006-2013 Volvo C70, 2004-2011 Volvo S40, and 2005-2011 Volvo V50. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your specific vehicle and engine.
Is this a rear brake pad replacement for the Mazda 3?
No. This is a front disc brake pad set. If you need a Mazda 3 rear brake pad replacement, you'll want the pads cataloged for the rear axle instead.
Will these work for 2010 Mazda 3 brake pads or 2011 Mazda 3 brake pads?
Yes. This set covers the 2007-2013 Mazda 3, which includes both the 2010 and 2011 model years.
What are the signs I need new pads when changing brake pads on a Mazda 3?
Squealing, grinding, longer stopping distances, or a pulsing pedal can indicate worn pads. Diagnose the cause before replacing, since these symptoms can have other sources.
What friction material do these DFC 5000 pads use?
They use a low-metallic friction formulation based on selected original equipment manufacturer formulations, designed for consistent pedal feel and long pad wear.
