Brake pads Bosch or OEM Subaru
None of their brakes were as good as my VB or my 17 Outback.
I used rockauto and got.
BOSCH BC433 ceramic Brake Pads on my front brakes.
They have been real good.
the brakes are way better and more responsive than our old Nissan.
the subarus brakes feel and stop great, but can get pretty hot in spirited street driving.
Every single time I install non OEM brakes on my Subaru they warp within a year, my Subaru brakes always last me 3+years. I have replaced about a dozen brake kits in my driveways. The Subaru brakes are the best.
I also have those Bosch pads on my Tundra and they are really good, quiet, low dust, excellent overall.
I think the Bosch pads work fine.
2017 STI 86,000 miles - I'm on my third set of rotors and 4th set of pads. It's definitely due to spirited driving.
Every time I get Bosch brake pads I\u2019m disappointed.
I had this problem after working on a friend's Infiniti FX35 and also using Bosch ceramic brake pads.
The problem for me was that Bosch pads have a different inside and outside pad for the rears for that vehicle. I've used Bosch pads before and never encountered this.
The pads were not marked and nothing on the box indicated there were different sides so I didn't notice. But they have protruding nubs on the backing that cause the caliper to not sit properly and increase their thickness, causing constant drag on the rotors.
