The Story
Front Brake Kit for Mazda 3 and Mazda 5
The DFC GEOSPEC Coated Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads - Ceramic and Hardware kit, part number 4512-80089, is a front disc brake service kit built for select Mazda applications. It combines coated rotors, ceramic brake pads, and matching hardware for a complete front brake refresh.
- Front disc brake kit with rotors, pads, and hardware components
- GEOSPEC coated rotors with a silver-gray corrosion-resistant finish
- Dry-processed rotors ready for installation without oil removal
- Non-directional rotor finish for even pad bed-in and smoother braking
- 5000 Advanced ceramic pads with post-cured friction material
- Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims for improved noise and vibration control
- Hardware kit uses PTFE coating, vulcanized rubber, and stainless steel
Product Line Details
DFC GEOSPEC coated rotors are machined to OE-style tolerances and inspected for critical dimensions and balance. The 5000 Advanced brake pads are formulated for stable friction performance and are scorched to reduce initial break-in. The included hardware is designed to restore proper spring tension and caliper movement during a brake service.
Part number 4512-80089 is a practical choice for drivers looking for a front brake kit for Mazda 3 front brake replacement or Mazda 5 front brake service. It is also a fitment-based option for Mazda 3 Sport front brake applications where the listed vehicle coverage matches the vehicle year and position.
Compatible Vehicles
- Fits 2004-2013 Mazda 3, front
- Fits 2006-2010 Mazda 5, front
- Fits 2010-2013 Mazda 3 Sport, front
- Fits 2012-2015 Mazda 5, front
Common Brake Issues This Kit Can Address
- Rotor rust and surface corrosion on the front axle
- Brake noise caused by worn pads or fatigued hardware
- Uneven pad wear from aged caliper hardware
- Reduced stopping performance from worn friction material
- Longer brake service time caused by uncoated rotors
Installation Notes
Install on the front axle only for the listed Mazda 3, Mazda 3 Sport, and Mazda 5 applications. The rotors are shipped dry and ready to install, which helps reduce prep time during service. Verify rotor size, caliper hardware condition, and vehicle fitment before installation. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
Quality Assurance
DFC rotors are manufactured to OE specifications, processed to tight machining tolerances, and inspected for critical attributes before release. The rotors include a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship.
