Product Details

The Quality-Built Black Series line focuses on brake pad performance with friction compounds tuned for optimized brake system operation and improved stopping power. For Subaru owners, that means a front brake pad option that supports even pedal response and fade-resistant braking under changing heat conditions. If you are replacing worn front pads on a Subaru Crosstrek, Forester, or Impreza, part number 1003-2045C provides a ceramic replacement solution built around the listed applications.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Solve

• Squealing or noisy front brake pads
• Excessive brake dust buildup on wheels
• Uneven or inconsistent pedal feel
• Reduced stopping performance from worn pads
• Brake fade during repeated stops or higher heat conditions
