STARK Rear Brake Pad Set – SKBP-0010407
Replacement rear disc brake pad set for Mazda MX-5 Mk1 / NA 1.8 and Mk2 / NB / NB-FL 1.6 and 1.8 petrol models fitted with the standard rear brake system, designed to provide reliable braking performance during everyday road use.
STARK SKBP-0010407 is a complete rear axle brake pad set manufactured for vehicles fitted with the corresponding Akebono-type rear brake calipers.
Brake pads are essential components of the vehicle's braking system. When the brake pedal is pressed, the rear brake caliper applies pressure to the pads, bringing their friction surfaces into contact with the brake disc to help slow the vehicle.
During normal use, brake pads gradually wear as their friction material is subjected to repeated braking forces and high operating temperatures.
As the friction material becomes thinner, the pads eventually require replacement to maintain effective and consistent braking performance.
STARK SKBP-0010407 features friction pads measuring approximately 102.1mm wide, 43mm high and 13.3mm thick, corresponding to WVA reference 23387.
The pads incorporate acoustic wear warning indicators, designed to produce an audible indication as the friction material approaches its replacement limit.
Anti-squeal backing plates are included as part of the pad design to help reduce unwanted vibration and braking noise.
The set contains the brake pads required to replace both sides of the rear axle, making it suitable for a complete rear brake pad service.
The product is an aftermarket replacement for corresponding Mazda rear brake pad applications, including the MX-5 Mk1 1.8 and Mk2 1.6/1.8 models fitted with the standard rear braking system.

Signs of Worn Brake Pads: Reduced friction material thickness, audible wear indicator noise, scoring or abnormal marks on the brake discs, excessive brake dust, unusual braking noise or reduced braking performance.
Other Items to Consider: Rear brake discs, brake caliper slider pins, caliper fitting hardware, brake fluid and suitable brake component cleaning products.
Useful Tools / Consumables: Vehicle lifting equipment, axle stands, wheel nut socket, brake caliper tools, compatible rear caliper piston adjustment tools, torque wrench, brake cleaner and suitable brake assembly lubricant for approved contact points.
Difficulty Guide: Moderate. Replacement involves safely raising the vehicle, accessing the rear brake calipers and following the correct Mazda rear brake servicing procedure.

Installation / Service Notes: Follow the appropriate Mazda rear brake pad replacement procedure. Safely support the vehicle and remove the rear wheels to access the brake calipers. Inspect the existing pads, discs, caliper slide mechanisms and associated components for wear or damage. Remove the worn brake pads and clean the relevant pad contact and mounting surfaces using suitable brake cleaning products. Inspect the brake caliper pistons and seals, and retract or adjust the rear caliper mechanism using the method specified for the fitted Mazda rear brake assembly. Install the replacement pads in the correct positions, observing the proper placement of acoustic wear indicators and anti-squeal components. Apply brake assembly lubricant only to appropriate manufacturer-approved contact areas, keeping all friction material and brake disc surfaces free from contamination. Reassemble the calipers and associated hardware using the specified tightening torques. Check the operation and adjustment of the rear brakes and parking brake before refitting the wheels. Pump the brake pedal to restore normal pedal travel before moving the vehicle. Carry out a controlled road test and bed in the new pads according to the brake component manufacturer's guidance.
