XP650 Rear Pads for the First-Generation WRX

Pairing with DBA’s XP650 front pad, this rear-specific set carries the same street-focused philosophy to the back axle of the 2002-2003 WRX: quiet operation, manageable dust, and a pedal feel that stays predictable in everyday driving.

Balanced Braking, Front to Rear

Rear pads see less thermal load than the fronts under normal driving, so DBA tunes the XP650 rear compound to complement the front pad rather than duplicate it, helping keep brake bias balanced and avoiding the premature rear lockup that can come from mismatched pad compounds.

• Rear pad set for the 2002-2003 WRX
• Mineral-based, low-dust compound
• Tuned to complement the XP650 front pad
• Quiet, predictable daily-driving performance
• Direct OE-style replacement fitment

The RallySport Take

Run this alongside the matching XP650 fronts for a balanced, all-around street brake refresh on an early WRX. It’s not a track pad, but for daily duty it’s a clean, quiet, and easy upgrade over tired OEM pads.
