Brake Pads

Brake pads for Subaru sedans, crossovers, and SUVs play an essential part in your vehicle's brake system. They are essentially the barrier between your brake calipers and brake rotors that are used to stop your vehicle's motion.

When driving, and you're required to slow or stop your vehicle, you press the brake pedal. This action sends brake fluid down a series of lines which pressurizes the brake calipers. Since the brake pads are attached to these calipers, when they engage, they press the pads into the rotor discs. The friction caused by the pads is what slows and stops your car.

The friction created to stop will wear your brake pads thin over time. Brake pads derive from several types of materials giving drivers a variety of styles to pick from. The most common are organic non-asbestos pads, ceramic pads, and semi-metallic, and metallic brake pads. All provide different aspects of performance and wear thin at different levels. The most common for commuter cars are organic brake pads. For higher performance models, the ceramic and metallic brake pads provide better stoppage for higher horsepower.
