Brake pads OEM Subaru or Duralast

My energy cost per mile is 1/5 to 1/7 of my ICE vehicle. My maintenance costs are 1/2 or less than my iCE vehicle.

I've used duralast (gold) brakes on every car I've owned. Never had a problem. Only issue was the tabs on a few pads have been too big and I needed to file down 1/16" or so to make them seat smoothly in the slots. Quality seems good to me.

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

powerstop is good but honestly i always suggest duralast golds they're good and the warranty is 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.
