Frankberg brake pad set for MX-5 rear
Product description
Keep control of your stopping power with a Frankberg brake pad set for the rear axle, supplied as a set of 4 pads. It’s built for a direct replacement job on compatible Mazda MX-5 models, so you can restore the braking feel without guessing what will fit. The set includes pads with acoustic wear warning, which can help you stay on top of service intervals as driving conditions change 🚗.
Before you buy, take a moment to verify compatibility using the AmazonConfirmedFit check shown for this listing. A red warning in the fit indicator usually means the part is not compatible, so it’s worth cross checking your vehicle details and the relevant reference numbers listed in the product information.
Key features
This rear brake pad set by Frankberg is designed for specific MX-5 fitments, with rear axle left and right installation positions covered by the included pads. The brake system specification mentions Akebono, and the pads use low-metallic material, which is a common material choice for everyday braking. You also get acoustic wear warning coverage via a wear warning contact with an acoustic wear warning, helping you monitor wear without relying on visual checks alone.
The set is supplied as 4 pads, which keeps things straightforward when you’re renewing the rear brakes together. According to the technical information provided, the pads include listed reference numbers such as NCY12643Z, N0Y82643Z, BCYC2643Z, NAY52643Z, N0Y82643ZA, NCY52643ZA, NAY52643ZB, and NAY52643ZA. As always, double checking the part number is the safest route, especially if your car has had brake components replaced before.

What to know before fitting
Brake pad replacement is a job where precision matters, even when the part is listed for your vehicle. The manufacturer guidance is to confirm that the part number and key dimensions match your car, using the fit indicator and vehicle identification details such as registration number, or model, platform, and engine size. If the fit indicator shows a red warning, treat that as a clear sign to re check specifications before ordering.
For compatible fitments, the product information lists MX-5 II NB 1.6L to 1.8L from 1998 to 2003, and MX-5 I NA 1.6L from 1990 to 1998. There is also a note about reference numbers that can vary across listings, so relying on the part number matters as much as the vehicle model. Keep in mind that dimensions and brake system type are part of compatibility, and the listing specifies Akebono as the brake system.
Pros
You get a complete rear brake pad set with 4 pads, which helps when you want to renew both sides together for more consistent braking feel. The material type is listed as low-metalic, and the set is described as being made from high quality materials for excellent braking performance, according to the product information. There is also the practical benefit of acoustic wear warning, so you can be alerted to wear as it develops over time 😊.
This kind of replacement suits day to day driving where you want predictable braking response and routine maintenance you can plan. It also makes sense if you’re replacing worn rear pads and want a direct fit for the specified MX-5 applications. Worth noting that you should still verify the AmazonConfirmedFit indicator and the listed reference numbers before you start any work, because compatibility depends on more than just the model badge.
Who it’s for
It’s a good fit if you own a compatible Mazda MX-5 from the listed ranges and you want rear brake pads that match the specified installation position on the left and right sides. It makes sense if you prefer to buy a matched set for the rear axle so you can refresh braking as part of a planned service rather than reacting to symptoms later.
It may not suit you if your car’s brake system, reference number, or dimensions do not align with the details in the listing, even if the model appears similar. Not the best choice if you skip the fit check step and order based only on the vehicle model name. If you’re confident about the part number and dimensions shown, then this Frankberg set is a sensible replacement option for the rear axle on the specified MX-5 applications.
