Description
Upgrade your braking system with the FactionFab V2 Front Brake Pads, engineered for performance-focused Subaru enthusiasts who demand consistent stopping power, excellent modulation, and reliable thermal performance. Designed for 2018-2021 Subaru STI models and 2024+ Subaru WRX TR / TS models equipped with the upgraded TR brake system, these pads deliver dependable braking performance for daily driving, autocross, and light track applications.
The FactionFab V2 Brake Pads feature a premium semi-metallic friction compound designed to provide excellent heat management and consistent braking performance under demanding conditions. Unlike organic and ceramic brake compounds that can retain heat due to resin content, the semi-metallic formula efficiently transfers and dissipates heat through its metal composition, helping reduce brake fade and maintain predictable performance.
Developed as a versatile Stage 1 performance brake pad, the V2 compound provides a 0.39µ average coefficient of friction with a 0.44µ cold coefficient, offering strong initial bite, smooth modulation, and reliable stopping power across a wide temperature range.
Precision-engineered OE-style backing plates, gas slots, chamfers, and textured steel shims ensure proper fitment, reduced vibration, improved heat dissipation, and extended pad durability. Whether you are commuting, competing in autocross, or enjoying occasional track sessions, FactionFab V2 Front Brake Pads provide the confidence and control needed for high-performance driving.
