DBA [02-03 WRX / 98-01 Impreza] SP500 Front Brake Pads - Street Performance

STREET PERFORMANCE brake pads are for drivers seeking next level braking characteristics over traditional OE brake pads delivering effective friction response to pedal application, low wear rate and dust minimisation.

DBA SP500 Street Performance front brake pads are designed for drivers who want stronger, more responsive braking than traditional original-equipment pads. Part number dbaDB1342SP delivers effective friction response during pedal application while helping maintain a low wear rate and reduced brake dust.

• Street-oriented friction performance for responsive braking
• Designed to help minimize pad wear and brake dust

These DBA SP500 brake pads are engineered for select Subaru applications, including 2002-2003 Subaru WRX and 1998-2001 Subaru Impreza models. They are intended for front brake applications and provide a practical upgrade for daily driving, spirited road use, and drivers seeking more consistent pedal response from their braking system. The friction characteristics are tuned to offer effective engagement without the excessive dust commonly associated with more aggressive pad compounds.

As a direct-fit replacement for compatible applications, these pads are designed to work with the vehicle’s existing braking hardware when properly matched to the original application. Installation should be completed according to the vehicle manufacturer’s service procedures, including inspection of the rotors, calipers, hardware, and brake fluid condition. Proper bedding-in is recommended after installation to establish consistent contact between the new pads and rotors.

Features:

• Street performance friction compound for improved braking response over traditional OE-style pads
• Designed for effective friction response during pedal application
• Low wear rate helps support longer pad service life
• Reduced dust formulation helps keep wheels cleaner
• Front brake pad set for select 2002-2003 Subaru WRX and 1998-2001 Subaru Impreza applications
• DBA part number dbaDB1342SP

International and Special Shipping Considerations

• International orders are subject to higher shipping fees. If you would like to review your shipping cost, email us at sales@jdmuscleusa.com with your full address and items you plan to purchase.
• In some cases, shipping costs may be incorrectly calculated for international or oversized items. We reserve the right to adjust the shipping fee and will work with you to negotiate a fair cost if needed.
• Customers can challenge and request a review of international shipping fees, and we’ll do our best to find a lower rate where possible.
• Customs Fees & Import Taxes: The shipping charge you pay does not include customs fees or import taxes. These charges vary by country and are the customer’s responsibility. Please check with your local customs office for more details before placing an order.
• Shipping Cost Adjustments: Shipping rates fluctuate, and while we strive to provide the most competitive rates, there may be instances where the shipping cost you paid is significantly lower than the actual cost. In such cases, we reserve the right to request the difference to ensure we cover our basic expenses. We appreciate your understanding and will always aim to keep shipping costs as affordable as possible.

Freight Shipping Guidelines

• Freight shipments require you to be present at the time of delivery.
• The delivery driver may provide a delivery receipt (Bill of Lading). It is crucial to inspect the shipment before signing.
• Carefully check the packaging for any visible damage (dents, punctures, rips) and notate it on the Bill of Lading.
• Open the package and inspect the product itself. If damage is found, document it in detail on the Bill of Lading, take photos, and contact the shipping company to initiate a damage claim.
• Do not refuse the shipment. Contact us at sales@jdmuscleusa.com for guidance.
• If the delivery driver is unable to wait for inspection, note this on the Bill of Lading.

Failure to document damages before signing the Bill of Lading will void any claims for refunds or replacements.

Pre-Installation Inspection Policy
