These Hawk HPS rear brake pads are a perfect fit for 2004 - 2017 Subaru STI models. They come as a set of four and are designed for the rear wheels. Ideal for street driving, they offer a smooth braking experience and are great for those who love a bit of spirited driving. These brake pads are gentle on rotors, which extends their lifespan. They have consistent brake release characteristics and significantly increased stopping power compared to Subaru's OEM pads. The unique Ferro - Carbon formula, developed with aerospace and motorsports technology, provides a high coefficient of friction. This means 20 - 40% more stopping power and better resistance to fading. They also produce less dust and noise compared to other aftermarket performance brake pads. All Hawk Performance products come with a limited lifetime warranty, ensuring they are free from manufacturing defects. These pads are great for daily - driven Subarus and can also handle light autocross duties.
Using these Hawk HPS rear brake pads is easy. First, make sure your Subaru STI is from 2004 - 2017, as these pads are specifically designed for these models. When installing, follow the standard brake pad replacement procedure. It's a good idea to have a professional mechanic do the installation if you're not experienced. During use, you'll notice a smooth braking feel right away. For spirited driving, the increased stopping power will give you more confidence. As for maintenance, regularly check the thickness of the brake pads. If they start to get thin, it's time to replace them. Also, keep an eye on the rotors, as these pads are gentle on them, but normal wear and tear can still occur. Remember, these pads are not compatible with carbon ceramic rotors, so always use them with iron or metal rotors. With proper use and maintenance, these brake pads will serve you well for a long time.
