Brembo Sport HP2 Rear Brake Pad Set • 07.B315.08

Rear Brembo Sport HP2 brake pad set for Mazda MX-5 Mk2 / NB and Mk2.5 / NB-FL 1.8 models equipped with the larger Sport brake package and 276 mm rear brake discs.

Brembo 07.B315.08 is a complete rear axle set of four Sport HP2 performance brake pads. This application is used with the larger rear braking system fitted to relevant 1.8 Sport MX-5 NB models and is not the same pad shape as the standard smaller-brake application.

Brembo's Sport HP2 range forms part of its UPGRADE Line and is designed as a direct-fit replacement for the corresponding original brake pads. HP2 friction material is developed for sporting road use while retaining cold braking characteristics and everyday usability, with Brembo specifying good initial bite, fade resistance and stable friction characteristics. The HP2 range is ECE R90 approved.

Important Fitment Note

This is the larger rear brake-pad application associated with the 1.8 Sport / larger-brake MX-5 NB braking system and 276 mm rear discs. It must not be confused with Brembo 07.B315.07, which Brembo lists for the alternative smaller-brake rear application. For imported, modified or previously repaired cars, matching the part number, dimensions and brake specification of the component being replaced is recommended.

Typical Reasons for Replacement

Brake pads are normally replaced as the friction material wears, when contamination or uneven wear is present, when renewing worn rear brake discs, or when moving from a conventional road pad to a sport-oriented friction material suitable for more enthusiastic road driving.

Fitment Advice

Replace rear brake pads as a complete axle set and inspect both rear brake discs for condition, thickness, corrosion and uneven wear before fitting. The MX-5 NB rear caliper and mechanical handbrake adjustment should be set in accordance with the Mazda workshop procedure after installation.

Other Items to Consider

• 276 mm rear brake discs
• Rear brake pad fitting hardware where worn or corroded
• Brake fluid
• Rear brake caliper service components where required

Useful Tools / Consumables

• Brake cleaner
• Suitable brake assembly lubricant for specified contact points
• Torque wrench
• Suitable rear caliper adjustment tools

Difficulty Guide

Moderate – replacement is a conventional brake service operation, but correct rear caliper adjustment, handbrake setting and torque procedures are important. Braking-system work should only be undertaken by somebody competent to carry it out safely.

Why Brembo?

Brembo's Sport HP2 range is developed for drivers looking for a sport-oriented direct-fit brake pad for road use. HP2 pads combine Brembo's braking-system and friction-material expertise with ECE R90 approval and are designed to remain interchangeable with the corresponding original brake pads without requiring modification to the braking system.

What's in the Box?

• 4 x Brembo Sport HP2 rear brake pads

Installation Notes

Ensure the caliper sliding components operate correctly and the rear discs are serviceable before installation. After fitting, correctly adjust the rear calipers and parking brake and follow Brembo's recommended bedding-in procedure. Avoid heavy braking immediately after installation unless required for safety.
