• Consistent pedal feel under a variety of driving conditions
• Minimal noise and vibration for comfortable daily driving
• Precision fitment to OEM calipers for straightforward installation
• Durable formulation designed to withstand aggressive street and occasional track use
• Engineered to complement factory front brake components for balanced braking performance

Construction & Design

These rear brake pads feature a carefully formulated low metallic compound that blends organic materials with metallic elements to achieve a balance of performance and longevity. The compound is engineered to provide strong friction characteristics while minimizing rotor wear and brake dust. Each pad is precision-molded to meet OEM specifications, ensuring a perfect fit and optimal contact with the brake rotor.

The backing plates are constructed from high-strength steel to resist flex and maintain pad stability under heavy braking. Additionally, the pads include shims and noise-dampening layers to reduce brake squeal and vibration, enhancing overall driving comfort.

Installation & Fitment

Installation of the DFC Active Performance Pads is straightforward and designed to fit directly onto the rear calipers of the Subaru BRZ (2013–2020), Toyota 86 (2017–2020), and Scion FR-S (2013–2016) without modification. These pads replace the factory rear brake pads and require no additional hardware or machining. Proper installation ensures optimal braking performance and safety. It is recommended to inspect rotors and hardware during installation and replace or service as needed to maintain peak braking efficiency.
