Brembo brakes, they look awesome and feel so much better than the wimpy brakes my BRZ had.
I got GT PP brembo brakes from shelby for ~500 dollars, including shipping. New front pads and rotors on them too.
Brembo or Better Bosch for reliability for more dustless brakes.
I’m running Wagner oe+ on the rear = 160
Brembo pads = 60
Oem on the front 160 each on prl
Hawks 150
Did it all myself so roughly 700 and it feels better than it was before
Pair of brembo replacements is 200ish pads hawks like 80 rears just use centric rotors and hawk pads it should be under 600 to do all 4 yourself this car is pretty easy to do.
My wife has 2014 XT since new and we are at 93k miles all stock brakes including rotors and pads. The only thing changed was brake fluid as part of regular maintenance interval.
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.
Did you upgrade to drilled and slotted rotors? I did brembo metallic pads and brembo drilled n slotted in my e46 and they felt like that from the rip. Keep in mind if you’re upgrading to something that is meant for tracking then u kind of sacrifice comfort.
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.
Every GM performance car I’ve had squealed until I dumped the OEM Brembo pads.
