Akebono ProACT Disc Brake Pad Set P/N:ACT679
Give your 2003-2008 Subaru Forester brake pad setup an NVH-focused refresh with the Akebono ProACT Ultra-Premium Ceramic Disc Brake Pad Set (ACT1004), a rear-axle set that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2003-2008 Subaru Forester, 2003-2007 Subaru Impreza, and 2005-2006 Saab 9-2X. Akebono's application-specific ceramic formulation is engineered around noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) control.
These are the Akebono ProACT ceramic brake pads for the rear axle. For even, balanced braking it's best practice to service both sides of the axle together and inspect the rotors while the wheels are off. See the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the exact engine and fit for your vehicle.
