I have Speigler stainless lines, EBC pads, and Motion 5.1 fluid in mine.
Owner reviews for brake pads
2022 Outback, 144k, never had any problems. Have replaced tires, brakes,and the battery. Follow all mfg recommendations for service. Always dealer serviced. Very happy with mine.
I've only replaced my break pads twice and one new pair of car tires.
Use Akebono ceramic pads. They have like 5% less bite than the performance pads but last way long and produce wayyyyy less dust. In emergency situations the grip is limited by your tires, so that 5% performance loss isn't really worth anything for daily driving.
He used Powerstop Z23 pads/Evolution Geomet Rotors I bought from Rock Auto (those were about $300 shipped). He even wiped down the inside of the wheel rims.
I bought front and rear brake pads/ rotors (rock auto, centric brand, akebono brakes) for $300. It took me total about 3 hours since I had to bleed the brakes, change pads, rotors, and remove off jack stands.
EBC green brake pads have that fish smell too.
Everyone in Aviation has switched to Duralast brayke pads, it seems... They should have stayed with Akebono.
Garbage in short.
Will not ever touch another Bendix product after my last pad install with them.
I used ferodo's once... Lasted me 2months daily and a single trackday. I'm only in a Z4.
