Subaru Forester Brake Pad Set

EBC ULTIMAX BRAKE PADS, SEMI-METALLIC, 2-WHEEL SET

Replace your worn out brake pads with new EBC Ultimax Brake Pads. Manufactured according to OE specifications, these long lasting pads completely eliminate brake judder and reduce brake disc wear by up to 50 percent.

This means that with EBC Ultimax Brake Pads, you get to enjoy big savings and high performance braking over a good period of time.

Features:

• Manufactured from a semi-metallic compound with aramid soft fibers
• With center slots and edge chamfers plus noise reduction shims on the reverse
• EBC red Brake-In surface coating conditions rotors after installation allowing pads to quickly deliver their stopping power
• Hardware and wear leads included where fitted as standard by factory
• Long lasting high friction pad designed for non-sport urban driving on all sedans, SUVs, and light trucks

Install these brake pads with the help of EBC's Instructional Video P/N E35DVD083 (sold separately).

CENTRIC POSI QUIET CERAMIC BRAKE PADS, 2-WHEEL SET

Centric Posi Quiet Ceramic Brake Pads are 100 percent asbestos-free and are made using the same positive molding process utilized by OE manufacturers, assuring consistent friction material density throughout the pad resulting in even wear and performance. These feature either precision cut or shaved backing plates, and mechanically attached shims to ensure proper fitting in the caliper, virtually eliminating noise associated with pad vibration. A special scorching process forces any impurities out of the friction material and accelerates the break-in process. This promotes earlier and more complete bed-in of the pads, thereby increasing their effective stopping power from the very first stop.

Features:

• 100% asbestos free formulas
• Incredible wear and fade resistance
• Scorched for faster break-in
• Produces minimal brake dust for cleaner wheels
• Mechanically-attached shims reduce brake noise
• Secure application-specific fit
• Shorter stopping distance as compared to other standard brake pads
• Stable friction performance across a broad temperature range
• Superior heat recovery under sustained and aggressive braking

Item Details:

• Includes shims
