Brake pads OEM Subaru or Bendix

I use my brakes sparingly when I drive and rely heavily on engine breaking in my Subaru BRZ.

TS gang here. Cost difference for the brakes was worth it.

I’ve ran the Bendix GCT pads in my daily for years.

Minimal dust and good lifespan, and they work as they should.

I’d prefer them over the likes of Bosch and Protex.

Regular DBA's (street model?) i was getting 40k kms, the Bendix heavy duty's i was getting nearly double that. Never had an issue with them.

I run Bendix and they are good

Blew threw mine at 30K

the rear brakes did go bad at 35,000 but Subaru said that was an issue with defective brake pads from the factory and they paid for the replacements and they have been fine ever since.

The stock brake pads leave much to be desired.

Only gripes I have about the VB are the shitty brakes.

Factory brakes in my 2021 we’re pretty low quality, lasted about 3 years.
