Heys guys need some help with B4 front brake pads. I purchased some RDA GP Max pads that i was assured would fit my car but im having troubles believing it.

The pads in question look identical to these. Are they the correct ones?

The pads pictured on the box look closer to B4 pads. The ones out of the box look like they'd be for the rear calipers, but even then, they don't look like the right ones.

Get yourself a set of bendix commercial pads. Cheap and grippy.

Those pictured are for brembos I'm pretty sure. I have stop techs in my car atm from a vendor on club lib. If your front discs are 316mm then you would use the same pads I got...

I'll take a guess at DB1491 as IIRC B4 and Foz have the same front brakes.
Bendix do not have a listing for B4...seems odd.

DB1379 come up as rears for a RX. May be the same pad even though the RX is solid disc and B4 is vented.

Ha. Should have looked further down!
Never tried them in a Subaru, but I have used Bendix many times before and never had an issue.

I would expect them to start breaking down if the temp get excessive, but from cold (basically normal street use) they should be fine.
