Brake pads OEM Subaru or ENDLESS
TS gang here. Cost difference for the brakes was worth it.
I just swapped to Endless ME20 for my non-daily, but it's not obnoxiously loud, I could see myself daily driving it.
I replaced the brakes myself around 95k miles. Dealership said they were fine but I replaced them anyway.
BRZ is roomier, neutral steering and has the best feel brakes of any car that I’ve owned including the S2k.
better steering, better brakes
The car stops just fine, it just doesn’t have a great feel.
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 still think the stock breaks on my 22VB needed more bite. They weren’t giving me the performance I wanted. My stock brakes didn’t give me that confidence. In the moments where I had to slam on the breaks, I still stopped safely, but it was a brown flag moment. They worked, but they didn’t inspire confidence. Additionally, I had issues with heat. Driving down the a mountain on a hot day (101°F), I needed to pull over and sit because my brakes were fading and my fluids boiling. Yes, the stock brakes will stop you. But I couldn’t trust them to stop me every time.
Stock pads are ass and spongy.
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.
