Z23 are a perfect balance, on my 2nd set on this wrx
Powerstop carbon fiber/ceramic. Very little dust and no noise
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.
I've been running PowerStop Track Day pads since a track day in May. I honestly like running them on the street. The brake squeal at low speeds adds to the shitbox feeling. They feel amazing after proper break in procedure.
Power Stop Z23 pads and Z17 Geomet rotors. It’s like a whole new car - I know that may sound weird but it really drives better, I’m hyper aware of my car and the ride is smoother. I did it at 69k miles, and I wish I had done it earlier.
I had the eyesight go off the other day and that car stopped hard as a mutha fucker. Wasn’t necessary but I know that shit works legit.
I replaced the dusty, loud semi-metallic Brembo pads with Powerstop z26 pads on my 6-piston front and 4-piston rear Brembos. Been on them for 2 years, NO dust, NO squeak, great bite and excellent cost. Super easy DIY too.
Power stop pads all day. Running them on my 6 piston setup and produce very little dust at all and great stopping power too
the VB brakes are fine until they get really hot at which point they fade badly.
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.
