This single pad covers a broad span of Subaru's AWD lineup, replacing Subaru OE part number 26296AJ001.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The NAO ceramic compound produces minimal brake dust, which is a particular benefit on Subaru vehicles typically used in all-weather conditions where grime and salt residue already challenge wheel appearance. The multi-layer ESE shim and chamfered\/slotted pad geometry suppress brake noise and vibration at the front caliper, while Brembo's factory thermal scorch treatment ensures consistent friction from the first stop and minimizes the typical break-in fade period.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Two application-specific notes: on the WRX, this pad fits the standard Akebono single-piston front caliper only and is not compatible with vehicles equipped with the optional Brembo 4-piston front caliper upgrade. On the Forester, fitment is limited to models with 17-inch disc brakes. WRX STI models, which use a factory Brembo 4-piston front system as standard equipment, are not covered by this part number.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brembo OE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53198452490559,"sku":"BREP78017N","price":61.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0832\/7308\/9343\/files\/f02982b31f2ce3e90ef632cec50f26ad_7117c801-b342-41ef-aa4a-e0aff4a97e4a.jpg?v=1779934672","url":"https:\/\/wcaperformance.com\/products\/brembo-05-11-legacy-10-11-outback-front-premium-nao-ceramic-oe-equivalent-pad","provider":"WCA Performance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
