Pad material

Featured Replies

What is the material (ceramic, semi-metallic) of OEM brake pads on an '09 Forester?

More than likely they are ceramic pads. Most parts stores only stock ceramic pads for all the newer subarus.

there is some good indications they are Akebono Ceramics (good stuff), but there's the possibility supplier and specs have been different thru the the years and across models.

 

most name-brand ceramic or semi-metallic would serve well for replacement if you find the dealer too expensive.. People of course have favorites, I like Centric Posi-Quiet Ceramic on our OBW.
