Bendix Ceramic Front Brake Pads for Subaru — CFC2045, OEM-Fit Quiet Stopping

Bendix Priority1 CFC2045 ceramic front brake pads deliver OEM-fit stopping performance and quieter braking for compatible Subaru models.

These Bendix Priority1 brake pads are engineered to match original-equipment dimensions and performance characteristics for a reliable, direct replacement on select Subaru vehicles. The CFC2045 set includes the pads and installation hardware and uses ceramic-based friction material with shim, slot, and chamfer features intended to minimize noise and manage heat during normal driving conditions.

How do these pads match OEM fit and function?

The CFC2045 pads are designed to the same fit, form, and mounting points as factory Subaru front pads, so they install without modification. Bendix engineers the backing plates, clip locations, and pad thickness to align with OE tolerances, helping preserve caliper clearance and brake travel.

• Exact mounting geometry for direct swap-in installation
• Included installation hardware matches factory clips and shims
• Pad thickness maintains original braking clearance and pedal feel

Will these ceramic pads improve noise and pedal feel?

Ceramic friction material plus specific shims, chamfers, and slots reduce vibration and dampen audible squeal for a quieter driving experience. Pedal modulation remains predictable because the pads are formulated to provide smooth engagement under normal driving loads.

• Multi-layer shims to reduce vibration and noise
• Chamfers and slots that limit uneven wear and help gas escape
• Ceramic blend that preserves consistent pedal response

How do these pads perform under heat and heavy use?

Bendix uses advanced friction materials engineered to resist fade and maintain stopping performance as temperatures rise during repeated braking. While not a racing compound, these pads are tested for everyday highway and city driving where occasional heavy braking occurs.

• Friction formulation designed for stability under elevated temperatures
• Slot design helps dissipate heat and reduce glazing
• Industry-tested for consistent performance in commuter applications
