2016 Subaru WRX Brake Pads and Rotors

The high-performance 2016 Subaru WRX demands coordinated braking components. Replacing only the pads while leaving worn or warped rotors in place can reduce stopping power, create uneven pad wear, and shorten the life of new components. At Mike Shaw Subaru we inspect both pads and rotors together and recommend the most cost-effective option—whether that’s resurfacing rotors that are within spec or replacing rotors and pads at the same time for consistent bite and heat dissipation. Our technicians follow Subaru OEM specifications for thickness, run-out, and torque, and we use genuine parts to maintain pedal feel and ABS performance. When you choose us, you also get the assurance of documented repairs that support resale value and protect warranty eligibility. We often have manufacturer-backed service specials that make combined pad-and-rotor service more affordable than piecemeal fixes. To get a precise recommendation and timeline for your WRX, schedule service and we’ll prepare a clear estimate before any work begins.
