Brake pads EBC or OEM Subaru
I use my brakes sparingly when I drive and rely heavily on engine breaking in my Subaru BRZ.
Go with ebc yellowstuff. If you like to drive a little hard. Changing the brakes on these cars is very easy by the way.
TS gang here. Cost difference for the brakes was worth it.
Saved thousands and now have EBC breaks and rotors with red stuff , better performance way less money and installed from a highly recommended local shop!
What's the current pad thickness? I'm about to install EBC Yellowstuff pads and new rotors on my Allroad. I've had Redstuff pads on lots of previous cars and found it was a great compound for low dust and better braking performance over the factory semi-metallic pads. I mostly use Yellowstuff nowadays simply because I like the way they brake (sharp bite, no fade on the street). But they are super dusty.
I did the brakes and rotors myself for $300. Ebc brakes all day.
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 didnt care for the feel of the pedal. Actual performance of the brakes is fine.
EBC yellows are a bit too aggressive for most people for street driving. They typically make alot of noise when they’re cold.
I burned through a set of EBC brakes, they dont last long and they have a lot more dust than ceramic Brembo pads.
