Brake pads EBC or OEM Subaru
Look into EBC Redstuff pads and see if they offer it for your M3. Also consider either ceramic coating the wheel surface or paying to get it professionally coated. I switch most of my BMW’s to this brake pad and the dusting is significantly reduced while still maintaining a good bite and braking performance.
EBC Red Stuff pads will fix ya up nicely. Way less dust, better performing.
I use EBC blue stuff on my Mach 1 for national competition in F Street. Coefficient of friction of .52. modulate well, try them on the street all the time, and take a pretty good beating.
Also swap out pads, I like ebc redstuff, about 20% of the dust as stock. isweeps have even less dust but don't have the bite that stock or ebcs do.
I put on EBC redstuff and they work well.
But the EBC SR11 and SR21 pads have been a game changer for us with regard to wear rate. We run these on our endurance race car and so far they have blown everything else we have tried out of the water. We just started using these so my experience is limited. But we just ran an 8 hour enduro at the ridge and used 1.5mm of front brake pad. This length of enduro at this track would usually consume an entire set of front pads down to damn near the backing plates. This is on a fox body mustang that’s 2600lbs and makes 330whp.
Raybestos rotors and ebc redstuff pads, a bit aggressive but you get used to em
EBC yellow is really more of a daily driver pad than a track pad. I have them on my Golf R and they faded easily on the track. Great on the street though
Mechanically, the wrx brakes are fine, but the feel is so freakin stiff compared to other cars that it really takes a bit to get used to. In emergency braking, you press the pedal thinking you'll stop fine, but you don't press hard enough and come in faster than you thought, press down harder and it's still not triggering abs, and you crash. It's so damn hard to trigger ABS in this car
The WRX has brakes that are worse than all of them. It takes an amount of pedal pressure that had me check if the power brakes were working. The brakes on the WRX are ass.
