Front & Rear Brake Kit for 2017-2023 Subaru Impreza - Quiet Daily

Our review of this front and rear brake kit for the 2017-2023 Subaru Impreza finds it a practical choice for commuters and everyday drivers who want dependable, low-maintenance stopping power without premium pricing. The ValueMAX kit focuses on consistent performance for routine driving situations like school runs and city traffic, with an emphasis on low dust and quiet stops. Installation is straightforward for mechanically minded owners, and the included rotors and pads deliver familiar, predictable braking feel after a short bedding-in period.

Key Features

• Complete replacement kit: Includes 2 front and 2 rear OEM-spec rotors, 8 ceramic pads and installation hardware for a direct bolt-on fit with no modifications.
• OEM rotor machining: G3000/G11H18 cast iron rotors are precision-machined and double-disc ground to reduce vibration and promote smoother pad bedding.
• Carbon-infused ceramic pads: These pads cut brake dust by roughly 60% and provide stable friction in stop-and-go urban driving.
• Engineered for everyday driving: ValueMAX targets commuters and daily drivers who want reliable, low-noise braking without extra maintenance.
• Stable pedal response: The non-directional rotor finish helps maintain consistent pedal feel during typical traffic and city use.

Who It's For

This kit is best for Subaru Impreza owners from 2017 through 2023 who need a full front and rear replacement that balances cost and everyday performance. It suits drivers who prioritize low dust and quiet operation during normal commuting, errands, and light city traffic rather than track use.

It is not aimed at owners who demand high-performance or heavy-duty braking for towing, racing, or aggressive driving; those users should look for performance-oriented pads and slotted or directional rotors designed for high heat and extreme use.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Good overall value with a complete kit that replaces both front and rear components at once.

Cons
