Brake pads OEM Subaru or GALFER

I went in for a 30k service (2021 Ascent) and mentioned the brake judder and warranty extension. They confirmed and ordered the parts (pads and rotors), awaiting parts now but it seems it will be all be covered.

Watched some YouTube, bought OEM parks off rock auto, did it in 40 mins for $300. Those bitches survived many track days for another 30,000 miles till I sold the car.

Anyways, its a good working solid car that needed tires and rotors/pads that i've already done.

I order the Galfer e-bike brake pads G1652 from Amazon and they fit really well. Definitely would recommend

Galfer pads and rotors. I'm 210lb and can confidently slow down with rival flat mounts and 160mm rotors

Galfer pro pads are the best ones I have ever used. They have more power, maybe same amount of modulation as shimano ones, they seem to resist fade better amd have ok life span.

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.

How were the brakes? My concern with towing is the brakes. I have not towed anything mainly for this reason. I find the brakes to be a weak point of the car and the rear pads wear out very quickly, on the 2013 version anyway. I am not a heavy footed driver, no fast starts, no slamming of brakes at lights and stop signs. Keep things nice and smooth, no riding of brakes, no fast corners which would engage the rear brakes more due to the vector control system (whatever they call it). Rear brakes wear fast and overall braking is fair. Your thoughts from a trailer perspective? Thx!!!

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.

The brake pads suck.
