DFC 16-25 Mazda CX-9 Front Drilled & Slotted Geoperformance Rotors 5000 Advanced Pads w/Hardware

If you're looking to give your 2016-2023 Mazda CX-9 a solid brake upgrade, this complete kit from DFC is a great way to go. It bundles together their Geoperformance drilled and slotted rotors with their 5000 Advanced brake pads and all the necessary hardware. This means you get everything you need in one box to tackle the job, saving you time and hassle compared to sourcing parts individually.

The Geoperformance rotors are cast from G3000/G11H18 iron, which is a well-known specification for durability and stability, matching what the factory uses. They're coated with a special silver-gray finish that fights off rust much better than standard paint or zinc coatings, and this coating is designed to be safely swept away by the brake pads during normal use. The drilled holes help reduce heat buildup during hard braking, while the slots are there to clear away brake dust and road debris, preventing pad glazing and giving you a more consistent grip, especially in wet conditions. DFC also machines these rotors to tight tolerances and applies a non-directional finish for a faster, smoother pad break-in and quieter stops. They're also 100% mill-balanced to ensure no vibration at speed.

Paired with these rotors are the DFC 5000 Advanced brake pads. These are specifically formulated for your CX-9's axles to ensure balanced braking, which is crucial for vehicles with ABS. They're also scorched to help minimize the break-in period, meaning you get improved stopping power right from the first stop. The kit also includes DFC's hardware, which is designed to replace worn-out or corroded original parts. This hardware is important because it helps maintain proper spring tension and caliper movement, reducing noise, vibration, and premature wear. The pads use DFC's premium rubber-steel-rubber shims to further quiet things down.
