Brake pads Hella Pagid or OEM Subaru

I run pagid rsl29 (yellow) and i have been a big fan -- but it seems like you either love them or hate them, no in between.I still have over 75% brake pad left after 11 days on track-- with that said, factory brake cooling is pretty good on my car's front brakes (M2 Competition). I think most folks whom have issues have inadequate cooling which leads to very high temps, which the rsl29 do not like

Pagid have done me surprisingly well on track days.

With pagid discs and pads i have never had this issue.

I put in Hella pagid. They are fantastic

I have Pagid RSL29 pads and ATE 200 fluid on Hankook RS4s -- I don't worry too much about brake fade unless it's peak Texas summer heat, in which case I'm managing engine and tire temperature with cool down laps anyway.

I had Pagid RS29s on my street driven but not daily driven car. They were great on track but holy shit the amount of noise they made on the street was almost agonizing. And the dust…. But for the feel they have on the track I would definitely buy again.

I’m my 2019 Forester, I hit 70k miles without changing either fronts and rears. The fronts now need to be done. Hard to argue against OEM with that performance.

I haven't had AEB slam on the brakes going forward but have had distance reminders. When my bike is on rack backing up will set off the system.

I'd go Pagid because they're a familiar brand. Had some Eicher pads that left really awful dust and were quite loud under gentle braking, lasted 5k miles before I gave up and swapped them out.

my local Subaru dealership listed my brake pads as needing replacement soon when they were literally brand new. That was because their system simply saw that I had 40,000 miles and had no record of the replacement. Nobody had actually examined my car to see if it needed brake pads.
