I had EBCs on my 2010 for about 40k miles and liked them. Switched to brembos 2 weeks ago and they aren’t as good. They’ll last longer though I’m sure with less dust. I wouldn’t say it’s overkill, it’s a big vehicle and you can’t put a premium on stopping faster especially if you do any towing.
I replaced the front rotors and pads with factory Brembo at 45k. When the rears needed replacement at 55k, I replaced the front and rear rotors and pads with PowerStop Z26. Couldn’t be happier with the swap - less dust and better stopping than stock.
Just replace the rears with the same brake pads aftermarket really suck. They do wear out fast but their worth it. Rotors get them Online their about $250 for two rear rotors and brake pads runs around $300 for the Euro pads for the Dynamic Edition.
Zimmermann cross-drilled rotors and Brembo pads were ironically the best priced option for my car lol.
I got Brembo pads for my 2012 S550. Under $200CAD for front and rear Brembo pads
Like the previous comment said, akebono is their oem supplier, imo I like raybestos the best because they’re super cheap on rock auto and they produce a lot less dust if you go with ceramic pads instead of metallic
Brembo and Zimmermann are nice. Used them on a couple vehicles me and my family owned. No complaints.
I have Raybestos Element 3 pads on 2 of our 3 cars and brake dust is next to nothing.
Raybestos Brake Pads - SGD924C - $25 obo
My brakes are starting to squeak so I contacted my local Subaru dealership to get quoted on my front brakes as the rear are still in good condition. They quoted me for $1200 to replace the brembo pads and rotors as they insisted that drilled rotors need to be replaced EVERY TIME you change the brake pads as they cannot be resurfaced.
