Brake pads OEM Subaru or OEM BMW

BRZ is roomier, neutral steering and has the best feel brakes of any car that I’ve owned including the S2k.

better steering, better brakes

Rotors and brake pads set you back about 3k every 3 years. Very easy to replace on your own as well.

I went 87k on oe brakes.

Good brake pads 250 and 30 minutes of work.

I think the brake pedal has a good feel, but I absolutely have had an "oh shit" moment when I was cruising at 70mph and had to brake for traffic. They definitely underperform for a "sporty" car. But I wouldn't say they suck or dangerous

The car stops just fine, it just doesn’t have a great feel.

The base model brakes on the 2022 WRX are the least confidence inspiring brakes I’ve ever encountered.

I find the brakes in the 25 WRX to be soft and not a lot of bite in them. If Im braking and need to apply more brake pedal if feels as if nothing is happening brake wise from my initial depress. I'd like more bite with the pads.

Mechanically, the wrx brakes are fine, but the feel is so freakin stiff compared to other cars that it really takes a bit to get used to. In emergency braking, you press the pedal thinking you'll stop fine, but you don't press hard enough and come in faster than you thought, press down harder and it's still not triggering abs, and you crash. It's so damn hard to trigger ABS in this car
