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.
The wrx pedal feel is actually decent, alright top end bite and it only shows it’s a smaller set of brakes when you’re further down the travel. Are the stock brakes adequate for the car and weight? YES. they do a good job imo to mimic the brake feel of cars with bigger calipers while also being smaller due to the cars price et .
The brakes on my '23 Limited are as good as or better than any car I've driven recently.
these brakes do the job well.
None of their brakes were as good as my VB or my 17 Outback.
The OE pads do really just suck. The system itself, however is just fine. You should try some different pads of the sportycar flavor (Porterfield R4S, Carbotech Bobcat, G-Lok GS-1, etc.) and see how you feel. I have had no problems with spirited street driving after a pad upgrade. The pedal is actually very well modulated and rather than hitting like a ton of bricks it allows you to control brake friction pretty nicely.
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.
