DIYer advice: buy Toyota pads/rotors from your local dealership's parts counter. Take a photo of your VIN for the parts guy. Once you're in their system, buying parts will be easy. You'll typically pay 20%-25% more for OEM parts, but do you really want to buy cheap pads/rotors?
I had ebc reds on my last wrx and loved them. There were a lil dusty, but I was very impressed with their stopping power
With the XP8s I had, I left early and bed my pads in on the way to the track.
Last week I got R1 Concept drilled & slotted with EBC RedStuff brake pads. This is my 2nd set of redstuff pads. Did about 40k miles on the first set with no squeal or shakes.
Centric OE coated "black hat" rotors and Centric posi-quiet pads are pretty damn tough to beat
The steel lines are great addition. The EBC pads add significant bite, but I did warp my stock rotor with a full weekend at Road Atlanta. Put a Galfer rotor on there.
They seem good so far. I'm not very handy and I was able to put them on pretty easily.
I've got PowerStop stuff and man it is powerful. It is noisy for the first stop after a rain to burn the rust off the rotors, but that's it.
Previous discs and pads were OEM and the new ones are Ferodo. As mentioned previously, the sound was there with the OEM parts as well.
I tried them one time on my track car and they were terrible.
