Brake pads Brembo or OEM Subaru
SR pads from Brembo. Commute on workday and track-day on weekend on the same set of pads is very convenient for my wallet.
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 have been running Brembo Pads and rotors. No issues. Perform well for daily driving.
The Brembo brakes are good, almost surprisingly so.
2014 impreza limited hatch — only 90K, routine maintenance (oil changes and replacing as needed brake pads, fluids, brake lights, tires, wipers).
aside from some repairs to back wheels (2 years ago) and a clog in my exhaust system that had to be cleared (7 years ago), this baby has been rollin along fine.
I got 85000 mi from the original ceramic pads then replaced the rotors and pads (with Brembo).
the rear brakes did go bad at 35,000 but Subaru said that was an issue with defective brake pads from the factory and they paid for the replacements and they have been fine ever since.
I think the brake pedal has a good feel, but I absolutely have had an "oh shit" moment when I was cruising at 70mph and had to brake for traffic. They definitely underperform for a "sporty" car. But I wouldn't say they suck or dangerous
Only gripes I have about the VB are the shitty brakes.
Factory brakes in my 2021 we’re pretty low quality, lasted about 3 years.
