Brake pads Akebono or DBA

I am using those. Very quiet and low dust.

I think akebono's are worth it for street/canyon although heavy so there are better options if your actually racing

akebono ACT pads. Street pads, low dust.

akebono proact ceramics. very well priced off of rockauto. they're not super sporty or bite much but they have very little dust and a linear pedal feel. these are same ones i used on my 2021.

Swap out for ceramic pads (I've had good success with Akebono)

I like Akebono Ceramic pads with Zimmerman rotors on my E92, some feel that you lose a little bite but I like them and they pretty much eliminate brake dust.

Akebono are very good brake pads.

For a daily driven car, Akebono Proact are widely praised.

Had the same shit on my 2016 Legacy - brake pads and rotors every 20-25k. The stealership blamed ME for it, claiming I must "ride my brakes a lot." The first one happened ~22k miles from brand new, and the warranty covered it. They told me the replacement at 45k would be on me for nearly $1500. I had my local shop put in third-party rotors and OEM Akebonos (the same brand Subaru uses) at that 45k (around five years ago) and just had them changed ~97k. The shop that put them in were amazed I'd ridden on five year old pads and rotors. The third-party rotors were still serviceable, and not having to worry about either until ~150k was worth a little more to me. So no, you're not the only one who is suspicious that Subaru's OEM rotors suck.

Used to use the DBA XP pads but they were far too dusty.
