Brake pads OEM Subaru or Centric
Anyways, its a good working solid car that needed tires and rotors/pads that i've already done.
Zimmerman Cross drilled rotors from FCP Euro with Centric posi quiet ceramic pads. So much less brake dust with these pads compared to stock.
Centric OE coated "black hat" rotors and Centric posi-quiet pads are pretty damn tough to beat
I’ve always done centric. Good quality, good performance and good price
I replaced all 4 sets of pads on mine with Centric ceramic pads from rockauto. They are quiet and set brake dust. They have excellent grip on the new rotors.
I like Centric’s Posi Quiet brake pads. A little more bite than original pads with substantially less brake dust.
Centric pads and rotors are pretty good. As said above Akenono is OE for pads, maybe rotors too. I run Akebono pads and Brembo standard rotors on my cars. Nice and clean and never any noise and I swear the standard brembo rotors stop harder the centrics drilled/slotted rotors.
The pads are very smooth but tend to creak at very low speed (like <2 mph) and they're very grabby when wet. 20k miles and they're maybe halfway worn down despite a lot of city driving and some very hard braking on a couple of mountain roads.
My 2022 outback wilderness went through 2 sets of pads and rotors in 35,000miles. They warranted the front rotors at 8,000, but didn’t replace the pads. Then they warranted all the rotors but not the pads the second time. However, I do drive fast and late brake.
I had my brakes replaced in January of this year and the dealership didn't charge me. Within about 4 months they started squealing again. I took it back and they basically told me to pound sand. I shouldn't need a 3rd set of brakes on a car with 30k miles. This has been very disappointing and really soured my opinion of Subaru.
