happy w trw ultra
I’ve been using trw ultra no dust,no sound and they stop real quick
I went with TRW Ultra ceramic pads and Zimmerman rotors from FCP Euro for my S90. It was a big upgrade from OEM in my experience.
I have the TRW ceramic brake pads on my E92 and they are excellent.
Got TRW pads from FCP, they work really well!
I’m my 2019 Forester, I hit 70k miles without changing either fronts and rears. The fronts now need to be done. Hard to argue against OEM with that performance.
I got the ceramic TRW pads from FCP euro. You can find them from ShopDAP, VW dealership, etc. There’s multiple OE suppliers that all work great: TRW, Pagid, Textar. You can also go for the semi metallic equivalent if you want a little extra bite. I believe they all come with the wear sensor, you can simply cut it off at the base and pull out the wire. I’ve done this twice now, no problems. I suppose you could use the advance auto ones if you already have them, but just know they probably won’t give you as much bite as the stock pads, and may end up causing some warping over time since they aren’t designed for the heat temps.
I haven't had AEB slam on the brakes going forward but have had distance reminders. When my bike is on rack backing up will set off the system.
How were the brakes? My concern with towing is the brakes. I have not towed anything mainly for this reason. I find the brakes to be a weak point of the car and the rear pads wear out very quickly, on the 2013 version anyway. I am not a heavy footed driver, no fast starts, no slamming of brakes at lights and stop signs. Keep things nice and smooth, no riding of brakes, no fast corners which would engage the rear brakes more due to the vector control system (whatever they call it). Rear brakes wear fast and overall braking is fair. Your thoughts from a trailer perspective? Thx!!!
my local Subaru dealership listed my brake pads as needing replacement soon when they were literally brand new. That was because their system simply saw that I had 40,000 miles and had no record of the replacement. Nobody had actually examined my car to see if it needed brake pads.
