Recently changed rear pads on 2020 XT. Akebono makes OEM pads. Can get Akebonos on RockAuto. Took less than 1 hour. Need hex socket. I think size is 7mm but don’t quote me on that. Guide pin torque is 18 ft-lbs. Brake hose bracket torque is 24 ft-lbs if you take it loose. Lug nut torque is 88 ft-lbs. I didn’t replace the rotors.

Pros: easy installation, less than 1 hour

Vehicle: Subaru Outback

Akebono gets my vote. Tried bendix and it grooved my rear rotors. Brembo pads are noisy and dont bite when cold. Only downside with akebono is the dust they produce.

Pros: Akebono gets my vote

Cons: dust they produce

I have the same problem with my M340i. I've looked at Akebono but they don't appear to have any pads for the M340, for some reason non-oem replacement pads are hard to find for this car. Anybody know of a good low dust ceramic pad for the M340?

Cons: hard to find pads
