What other DBA components do you recommend to go with these pads?

Product Details

DBA is known for making solid brake components, and their Xtreme Performance (XP) pads are built for drivers who push their vehicles hard. If you're looking for front brake pads for your 1998-2003 Subaru Impreza, these XP650 pads are designed to give you a strong initial bite and keep that friction consistent, even when things get hot. They're a good choice for street performance, police pursuit vehicles, club track days, or even if you do a lot of heavy towing or have an upgraded 4WD.

The real benefit here is the friction material they use. It's formulated to deliver reliable stopping power across a wide temperature range, from cold starts to high-heat situations. This means you get predictable braking performance when you need it most, whether you're navigating city streets or hitting the track. DBA recommends pairing these pads with their T3 slotted rotors from the 4000 or 5000 Series for the best possible stopping performance.
