None of their brakes were as good as my VB or my 17 Outback.
the brakes are way better and more responsive than our old Nissan.
the subarus brakes feel and stop great, but can get pretty hot in spirited street driving.
Every single time I install non OEM brakes on my Subaru they warp within a year, my Subaru brakes always last me 3+years. I have replaced about a dozen brake kits in my driveways. The Subaru brakes are the best.
If I remember correctly, you could also use brake pads from a VW delivery van, which was slightly larger than the VW bus. All you had to do was go to ATE etc. with the right number and you would get the right pads. When you asked for some for the Porsche 944, they said they didn't have any. The ones for VW only cost half as much.
Mein Mechaniker meinte zu mir beim letzten Wechsel letztes Jahr ich soll mir keine brembi kaufen. Hab dann auf die ate für meinen Golf 7 gegriffen. Hab zwar noch keine Meinung zur Langlebigkeit aber bisher bin ich zufrieden. Keine unwucht keine Geräusche und bremsen gut.
Sounds like way too much for a basic A200. For a dealership I guess it's normal but you can get equal quality ATE brakes for much less than the original Mercedes parts.
YES! i have the same issue and its mental. DBA Slotted Rotors and the Street Performance (Green) Pads, clunk over bumps and when moving back/forward D/R etc. Rattle is 99% from the left side / without the depth check. DBA said to extend the shims so they stick out further, and it works temporarily for about a day, then back to normal. Everyone is recommending the ATE pads, so I might try them, but if these rattle too not sure what to do...
I find the brakes in the 25 WRX to be soft and not a lot of bite in them. If Im braking and need to apply more brake pedal if feels as if nothing is happening brake wise from my initial depress. I'd like more bite with the pads.
Mechanically, the wrx brakes are fine, but the feel is so freakin stiff compared to other cars that it really takes a bit to get used to. In emergency braking, you press the pedal thinking you'll stop fine, but you don't press hard enough and come in faster than you thought, press down harder and it's still not triggering abs, and you crash. It's so damn hard to trigger ABS in this car
