Dynamic Friction Company Disc Brake Pad Set P/N:1551-1551-00
Keep everyday stops smooth and low-dust with the Dynamic Friction Company DFC 5000 Advanced Brake Pads (P/N 1551-0929-00), a ceramic front disc brake pad set that drops in as a direct-fit Subaru Forester brake pad replacement. It fits the front axle on the 2002-2012 Subaru Legacy and Outback, 2002-2010 Subaru Impreza, 2003-2010 Subaru Forester, 2003-2006 Subaru Baja, and 2005-2006 Saab 9-2X — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.
As a ceramic compound, these pads deliver quieter stops and lower, lighter-colored dust than conventional semi-metallic pads, with a smooth, consistent pedal feel during everyday street driving. Squealing, fading brake response, or a thinning friction surface are signs your front brake pads may need replacing. For even, balanced braking, it's best practice to replace the pads on both sides of the axle together as a matched set — these are the correct Subaru Outback front brake pads fit for the listed applications.
What vehicles does this DFC 5000 front brake pad set fit?
It's a direct-fit front pad set for the 2002-2012 Subaru Legacy and Outback, 2002-2010 Subaru Impreza, 2003-2010 Subaru Forester, 2003-2006 Subaru Baja, and 2005-2006 Saab 9-2X. See the Buyer's Guide for engine details.
Are these front or rear brake pads?
This is a front disc brake pad set, cataloged for the front axle on the listed applications.
Are these ceramic brake pads?
Yes. They use a ceramic friction formulation that runs quieter and produces lower, lighter-colored dust than semi-metallic pads, with a smooth, consistent pedal feel in everyday driving.
Will these fit a 2012 Subaru Outback?
Yes. The Subaru Outback fitment runs 2002-2012, so a 2012 Subaru Outback is covered for the front axle. Confirm your vehicle in the Buyer's Guide.
How do I know when my front brake pads need replacing?
Common signs include squealing or grinding, longer stopping distances, a soft or fading pedal, and a visibly thin friction surface. Have the brakes inspected to confirm the cause before replacing.
