Designed to deliver a consistent pedal feel and superb brake response, the Dynamic Friction Company DFC 5000 Advanced ceramic brake pads, part number 1551-1044-00, are a front pad set and a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2012-2018 Ford Focus, 2007-2016 Ford EcoSport and 2006-2010 Mazda 5. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.
These front pads use a ceramic friction formulation from DFC's 5000 Advanced line. Dynamic Friction starts from selected original equipment manufacturer formulations and formulates the compound for each axle on every vehicle it covers.
When you press the pedal, brake pads clamp against the rotor and turn motion into heat to slow the vehicle. Your pads may need replacing if you hear squealing or grinding when braking, notice longer stopping distances, or see pad material worn thin. For even, balanced braking, replace the pads on both front wheels at the same time, and inspect the rotors during the job.
