PowerStop Brake Pads (REAR)

2013–2016 Subaru BRZ

PST-1114

Overview:

PowerStop Brake Pads (REAR) are engineered specifically for the Subaru BRZ model years 2013 through 2016, designed to meet the demands of entry-level track day enthusiasts. These pads offer a perfect balance between street and track performance, making them ideal for drivers who take their street-driven vehicles to road race circuits for high-performance driving events (HPDE) or track days. Developed through extensive research and testing, these brake pads deliver consistent stopping power and fade resistance under rigorous track conditions, ensuring confidence and safety during spirited driving.

While optimized for track use, these pads are intended for use with street tires and are not recommended for daily street driving due to potential increased wear and noise. They provide a superior pedal feel and modulation, giving drivers precise control over braking performance in demanding environments.

Key Features:

PowerStop’s Track Day Brake Pads are crafted with a carbon-fiber and metallic compound tailored to the Subaru BRZ platform. This ensures optimal friction characteristics and durability during high-temperature operation. Key features include:

• Stage 1 brake pad compound designed for beginning track day enthusiasts
• High coefficient of friction when cold, increasing further as the pads heat up
• Excellent fade resistance for consistent braking performance throughout track sessions
• Premium stainless-steel hardware included for straightforward installation
• Stable and consistent pedal modulation for enhanced driver confidence
• Official brake pads of the Radford Racing School, trusted in professional training environments
• Carbon-fiber and metallic pad compound engineered for superior heat management
• Designed specifically for off-road use on racing circuits, not recommended for street use

Construction & Design:

These brake pads feature a carefully formulated carbon-fiber and metallic compound that balances aggressive braking performance with durability. The compound is engineered to maintain a stable coefficient of friction across a wide temperature range, minimizing brake fade during extended track sessions. The inclusion of premium stainless-steel hardware ensures secure mounting and reduces the risk of hardware corrosion, contributing to long-term reliability. Each pad is precision-matched to the Subaru BRZ platform, reflecting PowerStop’s commitment to vehicle-specific engineering and performance optimization.

Performance & Sound

PowerStop Track Day Brake Pads deliver superior pedal feel and consistent braking power, even under the demanding conditions of track driving. The high friction compound provides strong initial bite and increased stopping force as the pads reach operating temperature. While these pads excel on the track, they may produce increased noise and wear if used regularly on the street, which is why they are recommended primarily for track-focused applications.

Installation & Fitment:

Installation is straightforward with the included premium stainless-steel hardware, designed to fit the rear brake calipers of the 2013–2016 Subaru BRZ without modification. These pads are a direct replacement for the factory rear brake pads, allowing for a hassle-free upgrade. No additional modifications or special tools are required, making them accessible for enthusiasts performing their own brake service.

What's Included:

• Set of rear brake pads specifically formulated for Subaru BRZ (2013–2016)
• Premium stainless-steel installation hardware

Ideal For:

These brake pads are ideal for Subaru BRZ owners who participate in track days, HPDE events, or other performance driving activities and seek a reliable, high-performance brake pad that offers excellent fade resistance and pedal feel. They are perfect for drivers transitioning from stock pads to a more track-capable setup without moving to full race-spec components.

PowerStop builds complete, vehicle-specific brake upgrade kits—pads, rotors, hardware and more—designed as an easy bolt-on way to improve stopping performance. With options aimed at towing, spirited street driving, and more aggressive use, PowerStop is a popular choice when you want a straightforward brake upgrade with better feel and confidence than stock.
