Brake pads OEM Subaru or Tesla
I went 87k on oe brakes.
125K on a 2018. Factory pads and rotors. All even wear and still far from the squealer tabs.
2021 with 87k miles. I'll probably need to change the pads in the next 15k-20k miles.
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 think the brake pedal has a good feel, but I absolutely have had an "oh shit" moment when I was cruising at 70mph and had to brake for traffic. They definitely underperform for a "sporty" car. But I wouldn't say they suck or dangerous
The car stops just fine, it just doesn’t have a great feel.
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.
