Max Advanced Brakes Rear Brake Kit Compatible With Subaru

Our review of the Max Advanced Brakes rear brake kit finds it best suited to drivers in cold, wet, or coastal regions who need dependable stopping power and corrosion resistance. The single biggest reason to buy is the kit's combination of Geomet-coated rotors and carbon-ceramic style pads, which aim to deliver rust resistance and steady braking in freeze-thaw conditions while remaining quiet and low-vibration during everyday use.

Key Features

• Complete replacement kit: Includes two rear Geomet-coated rotors, four ceramic-style pads and installation hardware for a direct, straightforward swap at the rear axle.
• All-weather rotor protection: Silver Geomet coating defends against salt and moisture to reduce surface oxidation and extend rotor appearance and service life in harsh climates.
• ComfortMAX tuning: Designed for low-vibration control and quiet stops so drivers experience reduced noise and smoother pedal feel on routine drives.
• Exceptional fade control: The advanced carbon-ceramic formulation provides strong cold-start response and resists fade across wide temperature swings for consistent braking.
• Double-disc ground finish: Non-directional rotor surface helps smooth bedding-in and reduces the chance of pulsing or vibration under braking in wet conditions.

Who It's For

This kit is intended for owners of compatible Subaru models who regularly drive in northern climates, snowy roads, or salted streets and want rotors that resist surface rust and pads that stay quiet and stable. It is also a good fit for do-it-yourselfers who like a hardware-included kit for a relatively simple rear brake service.

Customers who need track-oriented friction, directional slotted or drilled rotors, or performance-focused pad compounds should look elsewhere; this kit prioritizes corrosion protection, low noise and fade resistance in variable weather over aggressive, high-temperature racing performance.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Good corrosion resistance from the Silver Geomet rotor coating, which helps in salted and wet environments.
• Ceramic-style pads deliver quiet, low-dust operation and straightforward bedding for everyday driving.
• Includes rear rotors, pads and hardware for a complete rear brake refresh without sourcing extra parts.
• Designed to limit vibration with a double-disc ground, non-directional finish for smoother stops.

Cons

• Some owners report occasional surface rust despite the coating, so long-term corrosion performance may vary by environment.
• Not optimized as a high-temperature racing option; drivers seeking aggressive track pads or drilled/slotted rotors should consider other aftermarket choices.
