Subaru Brake Pads

Knowing the Best Type of Brake Pads for Your Model

Brake pads are your Subaru’s first line of defense when it comes to stopping power. Whether you’re commuting daily or pushing limits in a performance model, the right brake pad compound can drastically affect braking feel, longevity, and control. Especially for high-performance models like the Subaru BRZ and WRX, choosing wisely is key.

What Are Brake Pads Made Of?

Brake pads are typically made from semi-metallic, ceramic, or organic materials. Semi-metallic pads offer aggressive stopping but can be noisy. Ceramic options are quieter and produce less dust, while organic pads are more affordable but wear faster under heavy loads.

Performance Brake Pads to Consider for Your BRZ & WRX

1. Ceramic Pads

Ideal for daily driving with low dust and quiet performance.

2. Semi-Metallic Pads

Recommended for spirited or track-style driving due to better heat resistance.

3. Low-Metallic NAO Pads

Great for drivers seeking a middle ground between performance and comfort.

4. OEM-Grade Composite Pads

Engineered for balance between longevity and factory-spec performance.
