Brake pads OEM Subaru or OEM Mercedes

I'm at 62k and have not had to replace pads. Family member was 100k+ in an Impreza without changing pads.

I've owned 5 subies including 2 WRX's...I always used OEM pads. They seem to be the best bang for the buck. I've tried spending more a couple times and it just wasn't worth the cost.

I had the eyesight go off the other day and that car stopped hard as a mutha fucker. Wasn’t necessary but I know that shit works legit.

as far as stock brakes go, they’re pretty damn good

I had to do a hard stop last week in my all stock 23 wrx and was surprised how fast it stopped.

personally, yeah i don't find the brakes to be particularly worse than my other non performance cars. i did feel like that at first but once i got used to it it was no issue.

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.

On my 22 the brakes were not adequate.

The brakes on this car are pretty ass.

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