Mazda Brake Pads

The brake pads on your Mazda vehicle are essential components needed to slow and stop your car. Without a reliable pair of four, you'll experience several difficulties on the road while endangering other drivers as well as yourself. Here's why brake pads are important and what to look out for if you think they're beginning to fail.

Brake pads connect to the brake calipers behind your wheels. Once the calipers are pressurized, the pads engage with the brake rotors, the friction created between them are what slow and stop your vehicle. A simple process, yet over time, the brake pads can wear thin, leading to slower stop times and less brake pressure.

What are brake pads made of?

Brake pads are available in several types. The most common are non-asbestos organic pads, ceramic, and semi-metallic brake pads. For commuter vehicles, organic brake pads are the mostly used since they are affordable, durable, and practical. Ceramic pads are more durable and last longer as do semi-metallic brake pads. These are primarily used on higher performance vehicles.
