The Story
Front Brake Kit for Mazda CX-3 and Mazda 3
Dynamite Friction DFC Geospec Rotors with 3000 Series Ceramic Brake Pads includes Hardware, part number 4312-80040, is a front disc brake kit for select Mazda applications. It combines coated rotors, ceramic pads, and brake hardware in one service package for a complete front brake refresh.
Key Features
- Front disc brake kit for select 2014-2022 Mazda vehicles
- DFC 3000 Series ceramic pads for stable friction across a wide temperature range
- Low-dust pad formulation for cleaner wheel maintenance
- Post-cured and scorched pads to reduce initial break-in time
- Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims for improved noise, vibration, and harshness control
- GeoSpec coated rotors with a silver-gray finish that resists rust better than conventional paint or zinc coatings
- Dry-packaged rotors ready for installation without oil removal
- Non-directional rotor finish for even pad bed-in and smoother braking
- Hardware kit uses PTFE coating, vulcanized rubber, and stainless steel
Product Details
The DFC Geospec Rotors with 3000 Series Ceramic Brake Pads package is built for drivers who need a front brake service kit with matched components. The ceramic pads are formulated for passenger cars and light-duty trucks, with fade resistance, consistent pedal feel, and reduced dust output. The rotors are cast to G3000/G11H18 specifications, machined to tight tolerances, and finished for balanced, quiet operation. For Mazda CX-3 and Mazda 3 front brake service, this kit provides the core wear items needed for a complete brake job.
Fits 2016-2022 Mazda CX-3, front. Fits 2017-2018 Mazda 3, front, Japan built excluding electric parking brake. Fits 2017-2018 Mazda 3 Sport, front, Japan built excluding electric parking brake. Fits 2014-2016 Mazda 3, front, Japan built. Fits 2014-2016 Mazda 3 Sport, front, Japan built. Part number 4312-80040 is the reference to verify the correct front brake kit for your vehicle.
Common Repair Uses
- Brake noise from worn pads or fatigued hardware
- Pulsation or uneven braking from worn front rotors
- Excess brake dust on wheels
- Reduced stopping performance from aged friction material
- Corrosion on rotor surfaces or hardware components
Installation Notes
Inspect calipers, slides, and mounting points before installation. Clean the hub face thoroughly to help prevent rotor runout and uneven pad wear. Follow proper bedding procedures after installation so the pads and rotors transfer material evenly. Confirm front axle fitment and vehicle configuration, especially for 2017-2018 Mazda 3 and Mazda 3 Sport models with Japan-built notes and the electric parking brake exclusion.
Quality Assurance
DFC rotors are 100% inspected for critical dimensions and balance, and the vented rotors are electronically mill-balanced when required. The pads are post-cured and scorched for stable friction performance, and the hardware kit is engineered to OE-style form, fit, and function. Rotors include a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship.
