ADVICS Ultra-Premium OE Replacement Product Line

The Ultra-Premium OE Replacement line by ADVICS focuses on delivering brake components that meet or exceed original equipment specifications. This product line emphasizes premium-grade materials and precise manufacturing to ensure optimal fit and performance. The AD1078 disc brake pads exemplify this approach by combining advanced ceramic friction with OE-level design features tailored for Subaru vehicles.

Product Details and Specifications

The AD1078 disc brake pad set includes four pads with uniform dimensions: 63.8 mm height, 157.2 mm width, and 17 mm overall thickness for both inner and outer pads. The slotted pads help channel away dust and gases generated during braking, enhancing pad life and performance. Mechanical pad wear sensors are integrated to provide early warning of pad wear, helping maintain vehicle safety. The backing plates are coated black and constructed from fine blank steel, providing a solid foundation for the ceramic friction material, which is integrally molded to the backing for improved durability. Multi-layer black pad shims are included to reduce noise and vibration during braking.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or damaged disc brake pads on compatible Subaru models
• Addresses brake noise and vibration issues with chamfered edges and multi-layer shims
• Improves braking consistency and fade resistance with slotted ceramic pads
• Ensures timely maintenance with included mechanical pad wear sensors
• Restores braking performance to near-original equipment standards

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the ADVICS AD1078 disc brake pads, ensure the mechanical pad wear sensor is properly connected to maintain accurate wear monitoring. The slotted and chamfered design requires correct orientation for optimal performance. Use compatible brake lubricant on contact points if recommended by the vehicle manufacturer, although this set does not include lubricant. Verify pad dimensions against the vehicle’s specifications to confirm fitment on Subaru B9 Tribeca, Forester, Legacy, Outback, Tribeca, and WRX models.
