Brake pads DBA or OEM KIA
I've got DBA street performance pads and slotted rotors on my 2018 Outback. Not sure what their availability may be to you, but they carry a good reputation down under.
Pros: good reputation
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
I have a 2015 Kia Soul I bought new. In over 9 years, not a single thing has gone wrong with it - no repairs of any kind. Just oil, brakes and tires.
Pros: no repairs of any kind
Vehicle:
Kia Soul
Coming from stoptech sports. I got dba sport sp. ceramic pads. Same feel but no dust!
Pros: same feel, no dust
DBA pads and slotted rotors From knsbrakes.com. Came in at $1,080 delivered last year. Completely eliminated the shudder with the stock brake pads and the slotted rotors look awesome.
Pros: eliminated shudder, awesome look
DBA Sport. Heaps less dust than oem.
Pros: less dust
I’m at 155,000km and I’m about to replace my OEM rotors and pads this month with DBA slotted rotors + DBA XP/SP brake pads. I do 75% highway driving and I never have to brake hard.
Mileage: 155000 km
The rotors/brake pads are notoriously bad. The oem pads leave uneven deposits on the rotor. Causes shaking while braking. Ive replaced rotors twice. Got better pads and drilled and slotted rotors. No issues since.
Pros: better pads, drilled rotors
Cons: uneven deposits, shaking
Vehicle:
Kia
Mileage: 109000 km
Dba xp pads with dba t3 rotors, but wouldn't use them again they dust like hell
Cons: lots of dust
