Brake pads Brembo or OEM Subaru

Brembo Brake pads

Ordered brembo brakes (fronts and rears 4 pots) from the same gen Camaro for my VE SSV from Amazon in the US and got it shipped to AUS. Later on found genuine Camaro wheels in SA that I bought for the Commy. Looked the tits and car really pulled up hard. Great upgrade.

Pros: pulled up hard, great upgrade

Rating 1.5

I still think the stock breaks on my 22VB needed more bite. They weren’t giving me the performance I wanted. My stock brakes didn’t give me that confidence. In the moments where I had to slam on the breaks, I still stopped safely, but it was a brown flag moment. They worked, but they didn’t inspire confidence. Additionally, I had issues with heat. Driving down the a mountain on a hot day (101°F), I needed to pull over and sit because my brakes were fading and my fluids boiling. Yes, the stock brakes will stop you. But I couldn’t trust them to stop me every time.

Pros: stopped safely (barely)
Cons: lacked bite, no confidence, heat issues, fading, fluid boiling
Vehicle: Subaru
