Brake pads Bosch or OEM Subaru
I just did mine at 60k I bought Bosch and they’ve been great.
Mymotorworld has Bosch front and backs at around £45 for pads they also have textar a good brand for a little more. I wouldn’t bother with the other cheap pads given the acceleration you can get with the car.
I installed the Bosch ceramic pads on a Hyundai Sonata, no issues with it
I use my brakes sparingly when I drive and rely heavily on engine breaking in my Subaru BRZ.
TS gang here. Cost difference for the brakes was worth it.
I used the Bosch Quietcast from Rock Auto. Works great for me as a daily and there is minimal brake dust.
The car stops just fine, it just doesn’t have a great feel.
I personally don’t like the way my wrx brakes. That’s just my personal preference. But yes the car brakes just fine for every day driving and isn’t a problem.
I thought the brakes sucked
I still think the stock breaks on my 22VB needed more bite. They weren’t giving me the performance I wanted. My stock brakes didn’t give me that confidence. In the moments where I had to slam on the breaks, I still stopped safely, but it was a brown flag moment. They worked, but they didn’t inspire confidence. Additionally, I had issues with heat. Driving down the a mountain on a hot day (101°F), I needed to pull over and sit because my brakes were fading and my fluids boiling. Yes, the stock brakes will stop you. But I couldn’t trust them to stop me every time.
