Dynamic Friction Company Disc Brake Pad Set P/N:1551-1551-00
Keep confident, consistent stops on your Mazda RX-8 with the Dynamic Friction Company Disc Brake Pad Set (P/N 1551-1008-00), part of the DFC 5000 Advanced semi-metallic line. This rear disc brake pad set drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2004-2011 MAZDA RX-8 (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details), giving you fresh friction material where worn pads once caused reduced braking bite, squealing, or a longer pedal.
Semi-metallic formulation: DFC 5000 pads use selected friction materials designed to meet the demands of modern vehicles equipped with ABS and automated braking systems.
These pads mount on the REAR axle. For even, balanced braking it's best practice to replace both sides together as a matched pair; inspect the rotors at the same time. If worn pads are the cause of your noise or reduced stopping performance, this set replaces them.
What vehicle does this brake pad set fit?
It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2004-2011 Mazda RX-8. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the fit for your specific vehicle.

What type of friction material are these pads?

Are these pads easy on rotors?
Yes. DFC lists these as rotor-friendly with long pad wear, and they use selected OEM-based formulations. Inspect your rotors when installing new pads.
