After replacing the brakes with Bosch and tires with Michelin CrossClimate, over 30k miles later and brakes have at least another 50-60k life left, and tires too, since they have 80k miles warranty.
After researching, I'm going to go for the Hawk HPS 5.0 next time I go to the track or wear my current ones down. From what I've read, it's a comparable to the oem feel, but produces less dust, which sounds really nice for my occasional trip to the track and for keeping my wheels clean.
I use Brembo Ceramic brake pads on my Mini Cooper S and Brembo rotors. Less dust, no noise.
model-3S have been remarkably reliable, many past 200,000 miles have little issues, some still on the original brake pads.
Brembo Slotted Brakes (286mm F) TRW Pads
XC90 T8, total 135k km on the clock and have done 85k km ourselves:
- previous owner did the brake pads at about 40k km
- we have now done front and rear brake pads recently (so after about 90k km use), both front and rear still had about 3mm to go.
I didnt care for the feel of the pedal. Actual performance of the brakes is fine.
the VB brakes are fine until they get really hot at which point they fade badly.
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.
The base model brakes on the 2022 WRX are the least confidence inspiring brakes I’ve ever encountered.
