Material and Performance

Made from premium ceramic compound, these brake pads provide a consistent braking feel, enhanced stopping power, and less dust buildup on wheels. They operate quietly and handle heat well, making them suitable for spirited driving or long highway commutes.

These pads are designed for direct fitment on original factory calipers, eliminating the need for complex adjustments. It is best to check rotor condition and apply brake grease during installation to maintain smooth and even pad wear throughout the lifespan.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I use these pads on both WRX and Outback models?
   Yes, as long as your WRX or Outback falls within the compatible year range listed, and it uses the AKB brake system, these pads will fit properly. 
2. Are ceramic pads better for daily use?
   Definitely. Ceramic pads are quieter, generate less brake dust, and offer smoother performance. They’re especially useful in everyday driving conditions where comfort and cleanliness are priorities.
3. Do I need to replace the rotors as well?
   While it’s not always necessary, inspecting your rotors during a pad change is highly recommended.
