Description
Upgrade your braking performance with the FactionFab V2 Front Brake Pads for 2004-2017 Subaru STI, engineered for enthusiasts who demand reliable stopping power, precise brake modulation, and consistent performance for daily driving, autocross, and light track applications.
Designed as a versatile Stage 1 performance brake pad, the FactionFab V2 series delivers the ideal combination of street-friendly comfort and performance capability. These pads utilize a premium semi-metallic friction compound that provides excellent heat management, allowing consistent braking performance even during repeated high-temperature braking situations.
Unlike organic and ceramic brake compounds that can retain heat due to their resin content, the semi-metallic formulation used in FactionFab V2 pads efficiently transfers and dissipates heat through its metal composition. This results in improved thermal stability, reduced brake fade, and predictable braking response under demanding conditions.
With a 0.39µ average coefficient of friction and 0.44µ cold coefficient, these brake pads provide strong initial bite, smooth modulation, and dependable stopping power across a wide range of temperatures. They are ideal for Subaru STI owners looking to improve braking performance without sacrificing daily drivability.
Precision-engineered OE-style backing plates, gas slots, chamfers, and textured steel shims ensure proper fitment, reduced vibration, improved heat dissipation, and extended pad life.
