OEM Subaru Brake pads

I’ve got a 2018 Crosstrek Limited that I bought new in 2017. 96000 miles later and I still have the original brakes. Never been worked on. Dealership says they’ve got a decent amount of meat left on them

Pros: long lifespan, original parts
Vehicle: Subaru
Mileage: 154489 km

the rear brakes did go bad at 35,000 but Subaru said that was an issue with defective brake pads from the factory and they paid for the replacements and they have been fine ever since.

Pros: paid for replacements
Cons: defective brake pads
Mileage: 35000 km

I still think the stock breaks on my 22VB needed more bite. They weren’t giving me the performance I wanted. My stock brakes didn’t give me that confidence. In the moments where I had to slam on the breaks, I still stopped safely, but it was a brown flag moment. They worked, but they didn’t inspire confidence. Additionally, I had issues with heat. Driving down the a mountain on a hot day (101°F), I needed to pull over and sit because my brakes were fading and my fluids boiling. Yes, the stock brakes will stop you. But I couldn’t trust them to stop me every time.

Pros: stopped safely (barely)
Cons: lacked bite, no confidence, heat issues, fading, fluid boiling
Vehicle: Subaru
