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.
It’s got 102,700kms on the clock and owned it since new. I’m still on my first set of brake pads.
I've owned 5 subies including 2 WRX's...I always used OEM pads. They seem to be the best bang for the buck. I've tried spending more a couple times and it just wasn't worth the cost.
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.
Aftermarket on some newer Kia models can cause judder.
Mechanically, the wrx brakes are fine, but the feel is so freakin stiff compared to other cars that it really takes a bit to get used to. In emergency braking, you press the pedal thinking you'll stop fine, but you don't press hard enough and come in faster than you thought, press down harder and it's still not triggering abs, and you crash. It's so damn hard to trigger ABS in this car
The WRX has brakes that are worse than all of them. It takes an amount of pedal pressure that had me check if the power brakes were working. The brakes on the WRX are ass.
On my 22 the brakes were not adequate.
