I ended up picking up Bosch ceramics for the rear + new aftermarket rotors since the stock ones had 1 mm left to min thickness. Have tried not to brake too hard since install couple days ago, but had to a couple times anyway (toronto highway traffic) braking felt just as good as the stock pads.
Ceramic. No dust ????
Just take a little bit longer to warm up to bite... ????
I just installed the BC1846 Bosch pads on the rear of my CX5 - work great soo far.
I've used Bosch pads and rotors and they were fantastic. Fixed the brake squeal in my cx-5.
Bosch pads and rotors have been nice.
I’ve used them for brake pads, rotors, and spark plugs. I haven’t had a problem with them.
On my car, smooth and quiet, no problems.
The OE pads do really just suck. The system itself, however is just fine. You should try some different pads of the sportycar flavor (Porterfield R4S, Carbotech Bobcat, G-Lok GS-1, etc.) and see how you feel. I have had no problems with spirited street driving after a pad upgrade. The pedal is actually very well modulated and rather than hitting like a ton of bricks it allows you to control brake friction pretty nicely.
I had to change the front factory break pads on my Outback 2022 after 28k km (~18k miles). Dealership told me it is normal ...
My 2022 outback wilderness went through 2 sets of pads and rotors in 35,000miles. They warranted the front rotors at 8,000, but didn’t replace the pads. Then they warranted all the rotors but not the pads the second time. However, I do drive fast and late brake.
