Brake pads OEM Subaru or Mintex

these brakes do the job well.

None of their brakes were as good as my VB or my 17 Outback.

the brakes are way better and more responsive than our old Nissan.

the subarus brakes feel and stop great, but can get pretty hot in spirited street driving.

Every single time I install non OEM brakes on my Subaru they warp within a year, my Subaru brakes always last me 3+years. I have replaced about a dozen brake kits in my driveways. The Subaru brakes are the best.

I've got mintex in mine at the moment and they're not too bad, they weren't very expensive but they seem to do the job

2017 STI 86,000 miles - I'm on my third set of rotors and 4th set of pads. It's definitely due to spirited driving.

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.

I had my brakes replaced in January of this year and the dealership didn't charge me. Within about 4 months they started squealing again. I took it back and they basically told me to pound sand. I shouldn't need a 3rd set of brakes on a car with 30k miles. This has been very disappointing and really soured my opinion of Subaru.
