Correct OEM Rear Brake Pad Part#?
 

Hi guys, need help on finding the correct part# for my BRZ.

My Car is not USDM as I live in the Philippines. So typing in VIN doesnt work.
For background though, it is a 2014 Subaru BRZ A/T Limited, manufactured in Nov 2013.
It is similar to the EU model. LHD, 17 inch stock wheels.

my VIN is JF1ZC6L72EG005227

I researched online and it looks like the front brakes are easy - Genuine OEM Subaru Front Brake Pads Kit #26296SC011, but there seems to be 2 kinds of rear brakes!

I believe the original BRZ-specific rear brake pad is - 26696CA000 but i rarely see it online, and most ebay sellers sell Part 26696AG051 which is applicable to many Subarus. (Some say brz included some not.)

Anyone can chime in on the correct option?

looks like the 051 number is the brembo or pp part.

Hi! Does that mean A000 is correct?

I think for the rear the difference is if you have vented or non-vented rotors. Go take a look at what's on the car and figure it out from there.

Looks like OE for US model at least.

Thanks. Is it likely that if the car comes with oem 17s, and the limited package, that its on vented brakes?

Does US OE come with vented brakes?

They all come with vented rotors. Vented means it is not solid NOT that it is drilled or slotted.

Solid (unvented) rotor

@Tcoat Here in NA they all come vented I think but not everywhere apparently otherwise they wouldn't list it separately.

As far as I know that doesn't matter but, again, I'm not sure. I know that the unvented rotors exist because the guy at my local parts store always asks me which part I need because it shows up both ways in his system.

Tcoat: IIRC some lowest trims in AUDM/JDM (and maybe one trim in UK briefly) had non-vented rears. Too lazy to google if it was for GT86 or for BRZ or for both and for which years. Again IIRC, those brakes were for ones that came with R16 stock wheels. Eek, international multi-DM manufacturers don't make it easy with all the different trims during different years and different trim level names across the globe.

Why not just walk out to your car and look at the rear brakes yourself to see if they're vented or not?
(Not trying to give you an attitude, I'm being serious)
