FactionFab V2 Semi-Metallic Brake Pads For Use w/ F40 Caliper

FactionFab V2 Semi-Metallic Brake Pads F40 Caliper | Consistent Thermal Performance | Semi-Metallic Brake Pads

Overview

The FactionFab V2 Semi-Metallic Brake Pads are engineered for Subaru enthusiasts seeking reliable and precise braking performance across street driving, auto-cross, and light track use. These pads are designed to fit the popular F40 Brembo caliper style, commonly found on many OEM and aftermarket big brake kits, making them an excellent upgrade for drivers who demand consistent pedal feel and dependable stopping power in varied driving conditions.

Built around a semi-metallic compound, the V2 pads prioritize heat dissipation and thermal stability. Unlike organic or ceramic pads that retain heat due to resin content, the metal-rich formula in these pads quickly sheds heat, reducing fade and maintaining consistent braking force during aggressive driving. The design also incorporates OE-spec backing plates with gas slots and chamfers to minimize noise and vibration, while textured steel shims further enhance heat management and pad longevity.

For Subaru owners, this balance of performance and reliability translates into confidence behind the wheel whether navigating daily commutes, carving through autocross courses, or pushing limits on light track days. The V2 pads deliver a smooth, predictable braking experience that complements the dynamic handling characteristics of Subaru platforms equipped with F40 calipers.
