Hawk HB700Z.562 Ceramic Front Brake Pads 2006-2007 Subaru Impreza WRX AWD

Vehicle Fitment

• 2006-2007 Subaru Impreza WRX (2.5L EJ255 Turbo Flat-4, AWD) - Front
• 1997-1998 Subaru Impreza WRX STi 22B (2.0L EJ20G Turbo Flat-4, AWD) - Front (JDM market only)

Fitment Notes

• Front axle application only - OEM caliper, 0.562 in. pad thickness.
• Fitment is specific to the 2006-2007 Impreza WRX - does not fit the 2006-2007 WRX STi, which uses a different front caliper and pad shape.
• The 1997-1998 Subaru Impreza WRX STi 22B fitment is for the JDM-only limited edition model only; verify caliper compatibility before ordering for any non-US-market variant.
• Street use only - Performance Ceramic is not designed for sustained track or race use.
• Not compatible with carbon ceramic rotors; designed for iron/metal rotors only.
• Compatible with stock, slotted, and cross-drilled iron/metal rotors.
• No electronic wear sensor or hardware included.

Features

• Performance Ceramic compound eliminates the brake squeal and elevated dust output that commonly affect the 2006-2007 WRX's OEM front brake system - a direct upgrade for daily drivers who want cleaner wheels and quieter stops.
• Ultra-low dust output keeps alloy wheels significantly cleaner than OEM or Ferro-Carbon compounds.
• Linear friction profile maximizes ABS system effectiveness for smooth, controlled front deceleration on all surfaces.
• Improved stopping power over OEM replacement pads with stable, consistent friction output from cold.
• Extremely gentle on rotors with extended pad and rotor service life.
• Effective from cold - no warm-up required for confident daily driving performance.
• Backed by Hawk's limited lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.

Product Description

The Hawk HB700Z.562 Performance Ceramic front brake pads are engineered for the OEM front caliper on the 2006-2007 Subaru Impreza WRX - the turbocharged AWD platform favored by enthusiasts who use their car for daily commuting as much as weekend driving. For WRX owners who want the cleanest, quietest possible front brake upgrade for street use, the Performance Ceramic compound delivers a genuine improvement over factory friction materials while eliminating the noise and wheel dust that tend to plague OEM and performance Ferro-Carbon pads on this platform.

The ceramic compound's linear friction profile works seamlessly with the WRX's ABS system for smooth, predictable deceleration in all conditions, while the ultra-low dust output keeps the WRX's wheels noticeably cleaner between washes. These pads are designed for street use only and are not suitable for sustained track driving - WRX owners seeking a track compound for the same caliper should consider the DTC-30 (HB700W.562) or HP Plus variants. A proper bed-in procedure is recommended after installation.
