Quiet, low-dust ceramic stopping for your Subaru's front brakes. The Wagner Brake QuickStop Ceramic Front Disc Brake Pad Set (MPN ZD721) drops in as a direct-fit front-axle replacement for the 1996-2002 Subaru Legacy, 1998-2002 Subaru Forester, 1998-2003 Subaru Impreza, and 2000-2002 Subaru Outback (All engines). Its OE fit-and-form design is built to deliver consistent, even braking throughout the life of the pad.
- Ceramic OE25 zero-copper formulation: Wagner's OE25 friction material runs cleaner, producing lighter, less-visible dust and quieter stops than conventional semi-metallic pads during everyday street driving.
- 100% post-cure process: Each pad is fully post-cured for even friction performance across its service life.
- Application-specific, low-vibration design: Formulated and shaped for this vehicle to help reduce noise-causing vibration; slotted with chamfered edges for a smooth, consistent pedal feel.
- Hardware included: Includes pad shims and abutment clips; premium stainless-steel hardware and OE-style lubricant are included in most applications. No pad wear sensor is included.
Ceramic friction is engineered for smooth, quiet daily driving; for heavy towing or sustained high-heat use a semi-metallic pad may be better suited. Because pads wear together, replacing the pads on both sides of the front axle as a matched set is recommended for even, balanced braking. FMSI number: 7589-D721. Manufacturer part number ZD721. Country of origin: Mexico.

What friction material do these pads use?
They use Wagner's ceramic OE25 zero-copper friction formulation, designed for lighter, less-visible dust and quieter operation than semi-metallic pads during everyday street driving.
What hardware comes with the set?
It includes pad shims and abutment clips; premium stainless-steel hardware and OE-style lubricant are included in most applications. A pad wear sensor is not included.
Is this a complete front brake job?
This listing is one ceramic pad set (quantity per application: 1). Rotors and calipers are not included; inspect and service them as directed by the vehicle's procedure.
Are ceramic pads better than semi-metallic?
For everyday street driving they run quieter with less visible dust and a smooth, consistent pedal feel. For heavy towing or sustained high heat, semi-metallic pads may perform better.
