Brake pads OEM Subaru or DIXCEL
I’ve got a 2018 Crosstrek Limited that I bought new in 2017. 96000 miles later and I still have the original brakes. Never been worked on. Dealership says they’ve got a decent amount of meat left on them
Still on the first set, 68k.
I've NEVER been able to keep the brakes as good as a Subaru. Even Buick and Chevrolet dealer brake jobs were no better than me doing it myself, but Subaru seems to be great so far. So far, I'm very impressed, and the brakes ALONE are a reason I have become a Subaru convert.
I'm at 62k and have not had to replace pads. Family member was 100k+ in an Impreza without changing pads.
Dixcel M-Type are the least dusty street pad I've ever used. A little pricey and straight from Japan, but they aren't kidding when they advertise "ultra low dust". Have about 1500 miles on them so far and they're great on the street and for the occasional togue/mountain days.
the VB brakes are fine until they get really hot at which point they fade badly.
personally, yeah i don't find the brakes to be particularly worse than my other non performance cars. i did feel like that at first but once i got used to it it was no issue.
None of those vehicles had as garbage brakes or any problem stopping way before getting near hitting another car in an emergency braking situation ever.
The base model brakes on the 2022 WRX are the least confidence inspiring brakes I’ve ever encountered.
I find the brakes in the 25 WRX to be soft and not a lot of bite in them. If Im braking and need to apply more brake pedal if feels as if nothing is happening brake wise from my initial depress. I'd like more bite with the pads.
