Product Description

The EBC DP43033R Yellowstuff Street and Track Front Brake Pads are engineered specifically for the 2014-2018 Mazda 3 (BM / BN chassis) with the 2.0L SkyActiv-G engine and Mexico-built brake configuration (280mm front rotor). The Yellowstuff aramid fiber compound delivers high friction from cold start with a 0.5 coefficient that improves brake effect approximately 30-40% over factory pads, with zero brake fade under sustained heavy use and ECE R90 certification for street legality.

Every pad features the patented EBC Brake-In surface coating that accelerates pad seating, edge chamfers and centerline slots for noise control, and powder-coated backing plates for corrosion resistance. The 2021 reformulation removed copper to meet environmental legislation. Working temperature range extends from cold to 900°C (1652°F), making the pad equally suited to spirited street driving and short-duration track use. Fits FMSI shape D1759 only -- verify the build plant location on the door jamb VIN sticker before ordering, as Japan-built Mazda 3 models use a different front brake setup. Backed by EBC's 12-month / 10,000-mile limited warranty.
