Fitment Notes

These GD rotors are designed exclusively for the front of your Mazda 3. Please remember, if you upgrade the front pads, you should also upgrade the rear pads to maintain balanced braking performance. The Thermic Black coating does not need to be removed before installation and will wear off naturally in the pad swept area after a few stops.
