Frequently Asked Questions
What vehicles does the Power Stop PSA-1539 fit?
The PSA-1539 fits 2013-2016 Scion FR-S, 2013-2020 Subaru BRZ, 2017-2020 Toyota 86, 2022-2024 Toyota GR86, and a wide range of Subaru models including the WRX, Forester, Impreza, Legacy, Outback, and Crosstrek from the same platform period.
Are the Power Stop PSA-1539 pads street legal?
Yes, the PSA-1539 pads are designed for street and track use. They are a Track Day SPEC compound intended for drivers who regularly participate in performance driving events while also driving on public roads.
Do I need to bed in the Power Stop PSA-1539 pads?
Yes, a proper bedding procedure is recommended to transfer an even layer of pad material onto the rotor surface. Power Stop recommends a series of progressive stops from moderate speed before hard use.
Will the PSA-1539 pads produce more brake dust than factory pads?
Track-formula pads typically produce more brake dust than OE ceramic pads. This is normal and a byproduct of the higher-temperature friction compounds used in performance applications.
Does the Power Stop PSA-1539 include hardware?
Yes, the PSA-1539 includes a hardware kit with all necessary shims and clips for a complete installation.
Can I use the PSA-1539 with factory rotors on my 2015 Scion FR-S?
Yes, the PSA-1539 is compatible with factory rotors as well as aftermarket slotted or cross-drilled rotors.
How do the PSA-1539 front pads pair with the PSA-1124 rear pads?
Power Stop offers the PSA-1124 as the matching rear Track Day SPEC pad for the same platform. Using both together provides balanced front-to-rear braking performance for track and spirited street use.
Will installing the PSA-1539 pads void my vehicle warranty?
Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, dealers cannot void your warranty solely for installing aftermarket brake pads. However, if brake-related damage occurs, consult your dealer.
