Brake pads EBC or OEM Subaru
It crossed my mind to get into a battle with the dealer over a wearing part given the mileage but I figured the best i had to hope for was replacement trash. I used high quality Zimmermann rotors and EBC red pads all around. I’m out $400ish yes but i know i have good stuff on now that will last. Brakes better now than it ever has.
I run EBC yellows year round with no issues or noise on street and track. I would recommend them, switching to stainless lines and chaining to RBF600 brake fluid.
I can wholeheartedly recommend you to try some performance pads. EBC Green Stuff, sporty street and track use, €150,- and Yellow Stuff, track use, €215,-. That last set is designed to stop heavy SUV'S.
Just got EBCs through enjuku racing. Pads bought local, stops fine just fine.
New pads (EBC) are way better then the original ones. Swapped front ones a month ago and now rear.
Can't go wrong with EBC pads. Though I have not Auto-x'd with this car ,the RedStuff pads are pretty rugged and great for daily use. My R32 is my only car and my daily as well. Current set have been 100% but on the previous set of RedStuffs, I had one of the rear pads delaminate (just that one time/one set) . Have been using EBCs for the last 20+ years and they have been great overall.
EBC has been very good to me over many platforms last 20 years or so. Buy a package from whatever brand you choose. Matching pad compound to rotor is underrated .Longer bed in time with EBC but always a quality product.
Im running OEM rotors with EBC red stuff pads and they're working fine.
I'm running EBC Yellows on my 15 WRX now, so similar in curb weight. Not great for a daily IMO. They squeal pretty bad and the dust build up is pretty significant. Have about 15K miles and 2 autocrosses on them and they perform great. Good bite when cold and even better if they get warmed up.
Honestly, I think ebc hh are overpriced hot garbage.
