Brake pads OEM Subaru or OEM Mercedes

TS gang here. Cost difference for the brakes was worth it.

I replaced the brakes myself around 95k miles. Dealership said they were fine but I replaced them anyway.

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

I went 87k on oe brakes.

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

I personally don’t like the way my wrx brakes. That’s just my personal preference. But yes the car brakes just fine for every day driving and isn’t a problem.

Stock pads are ass and spongy.

None of those vehicles had as garbage brakes or any problem stopping way before getting near hitting another car in an emergency braking situation ever.

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