Stay Safe & Secure With Reliable Brakes for the 2022 Subaru WRX

When you're behind a high-performance vehicle like the 2022 Subaru WRX, having brakes you can trust is crucial. The factory brakes are decent, but they leave a lot to be desired if you want optimal stopping power and fade resistance. That's why upgrading to aftermarket brake pads, rotors, and calipers from JDMuscle is a smart move.

Our selection of 2022 WRX brakes gives you the safety and peace of mind you need when driving a powerful performance car. We carry top brands known for quality and innovation so you can make your Subaru safer and more fun to drive. Keep reading to learn more about the benefits of brake upgrades and our recommendations for your new 2022 WRX.

 

What are the Best Types of Brakes for the Subaru WRX?

Choosing the right brakes depends on how you plan to drive your 2022 WRX. Going with a basic brake pad upgrade improves pedal feel and reduces fade without breaking the bank. Step up to slotted or drilled rotors paired with upgraded pads for even better performance. If you want supercar stopping power, big brake kits with multi-piston calipers are the way to go.

Entry-Level Pads

Upgrading to performance street pads like Hawk HP+ or EBC Redstuff improves everyday driving while providing better bite and modulation. Low dust formulas maintain your wheels' shine between washes. Brands like Carbotech and Hawk offer different compounds to suit your needs - choose between more aggressive track-focused options or quieter street pads.

Slotted & Drilled Rotors

DBA, PowerStop, and other brands offer one- or two-piece slotted rotors to maximize cooling while shedding dust and gas. The slots wipe brake pads clean for more consistent performance. For even better heat dissipation, cross-drilled rotors add extra channels for gases to escape. Paired with pads like Carbotech 1521, you'll have track-ready stopping power.

Big Brake Kits

If you're building a track beast or want supercar-rivaling power, then a BBK is for you. Our JDMuscle WRX big brake kit features massive 6-piston front calipers with 15" 2-piece rotors to deliver mind-bending performance. Other options from brands like AP Racing and Brembo deliver similar elite-level braking that is perfect for the most hardcore enthusiasts.

 

How Quality Brake Parts Enhance Safety & Performance

Improving your Subaru WRX's braking abilities goes beyond just looking cool or enhancing track times. Upgraded brakes provide meaningful safety and performance benefits you'll appreciate every time you drive.

Shorter Stopping Distances

Performance brake pads use compounds that increase friction and provide a stronger initial bite. This allows them to haul you down from speed much quicker than stock brakes. You'll have shorter stopping distances, which is extremely valuable for avoiding hazards and accidents on the road.

Fade Resistance

Upgraded brake rotors, pads, and calipers better dissipate heat and resist fade during aggressive driving. Slotted and drilled rotors expose more surface area for cooling, while multi-piston calipers combat fluid expansion. This fade resistance allows consistent braking performance lap after lap on the track.

Improved Pedal Feel

The stiffer compounds used in performance pads provide a more connected and linear brake pedal feel. You can modulate your speed with finer precision, allowing smoother stops and better control. A good brake pedal feel also enhances the driving experience.

Reduced Brake Dust

Aftermarket brake pads feature dust-reducing technology to keep your wheels cleaner between washes. By upgrading to low-dust pads, you can see the road better and save time on washing your WRX. Maintaining your car's aesthetic is made easier.

Added Style Points

Big brake kits with custom-colored calipers and slotted/drilled rotors look amazing behind large-diameter wheels. A brake upgrade instantly adds eye-catching style to set your Subaru apart. With brake modifications, form matches function perfectly.

Other Benefits

Upgraded pads can reduce noise and provide a quieter ride. Materials like ceramic compounds also help reduce rotor wear for lower maintenance costs. Many kits are fully loaded with pads and rotors for easy, one-stop installation.
