I've owned 5 subies including 2 WRX's...I always used OEM pads. They seem to be the best bang for the buck. I've tried spending more a couple times and it just wasn't worth the cost.
Akebono all the way..made in USA too
Akebono was the oem brand last I checked, not sure if still the case. I'm using them, and they stop just like oem, no noise or issues.
switched to Akebono brake pads and brake dust was gone on my f30.
I had the eyesight go off the other day and that car stopped hard as a mutha fucker. Wasn’t necessary but I know that shit works legit.
They're quiet, low dust, and take away a little of the overly aggressive initial bite (i hate it, you might not).
as far as stock brakes go, they’re pretty damn good
I had to do a hard stop last week in my all stock 23 wrx and was surprised how fast it stopped.
On the factory pads you'll see around 55-60k on the original Akebonos.
Don’t recommend Akebono because their ProACT pads are weaker than stock.
