ADVICS AD2045 Disc Brake Pad Set - Front
ADVICS AD2045 Front Brake Pads
ADVICS AD2045 is an ultra-premium OE replacement disc brake pad set built for consistent front braking performance. It uses approved ceramic friction material, low-dust operation, and OE-style construction for Subaru drivers who want smooth, quiet stopping on daily roads and highway use.
Compatible with select Subaru Forester, Impreza, Legacy, Outback, and Crosstrek front brake applications, the ADVICS AD2045 is engineered to match original equipment specifications for fit, feel, and noise control. This part cross-references Akebono ProACT ACT2045 and Bosch BE2045H for the same application.

Detailed Description
The ADVICS Ultra-Premium OE Replacement line focuses on original-equipment-style braking performance, and AD2045 follows that approach with ceramic friction material, integrally molded friction attachment, and premium shim construction. The result is a front disc brake pad set designed for stable pedal response, reduced brake noise, and cleaner operation compared with many conventional friction formulas. For Subaru Forester, Subaru Impreza, Subaru Legacy, Subaru Outback, and Subaru Crosstrek front brake service, ADVICS AD2045 provides a direct OE-style replacement option.

What It Helps Address
- Squealing or noisy front brakes
- Excess brake dust buildup on wheels
- Uneven or harsh brake pedal feel
- Vibration caused by worn pad shims or friction surfaces
- Reduced stopping consistency from worn front pads
Installation Notes and Tips
Inspect rotors, calipers, and slide hardware before installation. Clean the caliper bracket contact points, verify the wear sensor routing, and follow the vehicle service procedure for pad bedding after installation. Because this set is slotted and chamfered, proper rotor condition and correct torque on wheel fasteners help maintain smooth braking performance.
Quality Assurance
ADVICS manufactures this pad set under original equipment specifications and uses approved ceramic friction material for controlled braking behavior. The OE-style shim design is intended to reduce vibration and noise while supporting long pad and rotor service life.
