It's time to replace my 2014 isport brake pads. I can't for the life of me find any answer online for this..are the front and rear sets the same? I put a lot of mileage on but no wild driving, worth it to grab semi metallic or just stick with ceramic? Thanks folks!

 

Front & rears are very different.

If you're not worried about excess dust, squeaks & squeals then go aftermarket, otherwise stick with genuine.

I very much doubt Mazda would use Ceramic pads.

 

Cool! Silly of me to have to ask I know, but how do I tell a difference between aftermarket and genuine?

 

Genuine will only be sold by Mazda with Mazda labels.

Part number may be #G4YA-33-28ZA
