Bosch brake pads are good for me in my performance pack.
OEM brake pads are most of times manufactured by BOSCH. So if you can identify the supplier you spend less $$$ for your spares
2011 2.5 Outback, just turned 255,000 miles. One set of brake pads
I believe a division of Bosch’s automobile braking development is in NKY. They did the newish NSX brakes there.
Amazon usually has pretty good prices on Bosch pads if you prefer a brand name.
I did just bad slap my 13 recently with bosch blue caramics, and they have been great too.
Blew threw mine at 30K
the rear brakes did go bad at 35,000 but Subaru said that was an issue with defective brake pads from the factory and they paid for the replacements and they have been fine ever since.
I recently replaced all the brake pads on my 2020 brz performance package, and it now squeals way more than before and has a noticeable clunk when pressing the brake pedal especially after reversing. I got Bosch Ceramic QuietCast pads from Rockauto, used ceramic lubricant on the back of the pads and all contact surfaces, and silicone lubricant on the pins. Once I apply a good amount of pressure to the brakes, they're very quiet for awhile but eventually start squealing again. Also I did do the bedding process and it didn't change anything, plus that wouldn't stop the clunking.
The stock brake pads leave much to be desired.
