Brake pads OEM Subaru or Hawk Performance

I went with DBA T2 rotors with Hawk Ceramics. This was my first time trying hawk and I will never switch unless necessary. These have been by far the cleanest brake pads I've ever run. I've tried most other popular name brands and even off brand stuff.

I use Hawk 5.0 pads front and rear for autocross. if you want a more aggressive pad that's still street-able, I'd recommend those.

I was using dtc 60s for the last half of last year and they lived up great through 7 days of tracking (8mm/5mm remaining rear/front), however the aggressive bite has a learning curve and is prone to ice pedal on my car. I'm switching to their ERS-1 pad this year and expecting them to last even longer.

I’m currently running Hawk HP+ on all 4 corners. I love how the pads feel and hold up- I don’t mind the noise but the dust is so so bad.

My wife has 2014 XT since new and we are at 93k miles all stock brakes including rotors and pads. The only thing changed was brake fluid as part of regular maintenance interval.

The factory pads/rotors on my 2011 Outback 3.6 have 90k on them (70% highway miles) and are still in good shape. I'll probably never buy discount parts store brakes again.

Had one in 2012. A cba 2009. Blew transmission. Covered under warranty. They put in a DBA transmission and bellhousing. Had full bolt ons and the car was fun. Ran mid 10\u2019s at over 130 mph. Stock brakes sucked. I upgraded to J hook rotors and I think hawk pads.

I run Hawk HPS 5.0 they are good but we're spongy even after the recommended break in. I ended up doing a run and intentionally abusing the brakes to get them good and hot to the point that they faded. After that, they were great.

I had to change the front factory break pads on my Outback 2022 after 28k km (~18k miles). Dealership told me it is normal ...

My 2022 outback wilderness went through 2 sets of pads and rotors in 35,000miles. They warranted the front rotors at 8,000, but didn’t replace the pads. Then they warranted all the rotors but not the pads the second time. However, I do drive fast and late brake.
