Ceramic Brake Pads

The DBA SS Street Series Brake Pads offer a direct-fit solution for drivers seeking enhanced braking performance beyond standard OE levels. Designed as a rear set, these pads utilize a ceramic friction material, specifically formulated to withstand the rigors of performance driving. The friction surfaces are post-cured and scorched, indicating a preparation process for immediate and effective use. Disc Brakes Australia (DBA), the manufacturer, highlights that their performance series brake pads are cast from high carbon alloyed iron and undergo Thermal Stability Profiling (TSP). This process allows the metallurgy to consistently handle increased stress and heat generated under intense braking conditions. The pads themselves feature precise dimensions including a height of 39.4 mm, a width of 110.4 mm, and an overall thickness of 15.6 mm. Shims are included for proper installation, and the pads are designed with a slotted surface. Fitment compatibility can be nuanced. For the Subaru BRZ, specific fitment depends on the year and brake configuration: 2013 models with 292mm front and vented rear discs; 2015-2016 models with either 292mm front/vented rear or 277mm front/solid rear discs; and 2017-2018 and 2020 models specifically exclude Brembo systems. Similarly, 2018-2020 Toyota 86 models also exclude Brembo systems. For the Subaru Legacy, these pads fit 2.5GT and 3.6R models. For Subaru Outback, they are compatible with 3.6R models from 2010-2012.
