The Power Stop S3698 brake calipers represent a high-performance upgrade specifically engineered for the 2004-2014 Subaru Impreza WRX STI series, including the WRX STI Limited (2007, 2011-2014), WRX STI Special Edition (2010), and extending compatibility to the 2015-2017 Subaru WRX STI models such as Base, Launch Edition, Limited, and the 2016 Series HyperBlue. These front red calipers are designed without brackets and are an ideal replacement for stock calipers, offering enhanced braking reliability and a visually striking appearance behind both stock and custom wheels.
Manufactured by PowerStop, a reputable brand recognized for its dedication to quality and innovation in brake components, these calipers undergo a meticulous remanufacturing process at their Chicago, IL facility. Each unit is treated with an electrostatic high-temperature red powder coating that not only provides an attractive finish but also serves as a robust barrier against rust and corrosion, thereby extending the lifespan of the calipers under demanding driving conditions.
Power Stop’s commitment to safety and performance is evident in their rigorous quality assurance procedures. Every caliper is 100% pressure tested to confirm proper piston operation and to eliminate the risk of leaks, ensuring dependable braking performance. The assembly incorporates new pistons, seals, slide pins (where applicable), dust boots, bleeder screws, and stainless steel brake pad abutment clips, all contributing to the overall durability and functionality of the braking system.
Additional features include high-temperature EPDM rubber dust boots and premium silicone lubricant, which facilitate smoother caliper operation and enhance longevity even in extreme environments. The performance red finish not only accentuates the vehicle’s sporty aesthetic but also signifies the calipers’ superior quality and engineering.
