I call complete bull shit with oem break pads they are trash iv gone Thu!! the red yellow stuff pads yellow is okay… with rotors solid and drilled …… I’m saying this after owning 2 wrx,s and a shit ton of break issues for the best stopping ability and aggressive driving get slotted rotors EBC the best stoping is with out a doubt is the blue stuff pads and a set of Michelin s sport tires the only thing is you will need to do is drain you dot 3 brake fluid and use dot 4 because liquid moly it’s much higher temp boiling point because I do some serious canyon driving and boi do they get hot !!! At night my buddies have told me my rotors are glowing but non of them can stop like me!!! I’m telling you the best part is the break in is quick af and less rotor wear but down side is they get hot oh and get copper seal savers for the bleeers I have yet to set off my ABS from a 90 mph to complete stop slamming on my brakes
I’ll end this on saying absolutely worth the money.
