Â
These are the DBA SP500 Street Performance Brake Pads that are intended for the driver who wants a brake pad designed to improve braking performance over factory-style brake pads but without the inherent harshness of trackpads.

Â
SPECS:

- Low dust
- Reduced NVH
- Fast brake bedding due to scorched finish
- Consistent pedal feel
- Compatible with T2, X, T3, XS performance rotors
- Ideal for those who want more performance when compared to OEM pads without the harshness of full-blown track-pads
- Great for daily driving with enough heat capacity for weekend autocross events or spirited canyon driving
Â
FITMENT NOTES:
- For all 02/03 WRX owners, please verify pad fitment before purchase
- There was a front caliper design change mid-production year
- This will be determined by the BUILD DATE (not model year), which is found on the VIN plate in the driver’s side door jam
