TS gang here. Cost difference for the brakes was worth it.
If you want something good get raybestos have them in my 8th gen accord and they are above oem.
I installed Raybestos Element 3 on my wife\u2019s 2015 LT along with new Element 3 rotors. Better stopping power than the stock pads but a little more brake dust. The increased performance is worth it to me.
Brakes are a composition issue. rears wore out at 34,000 miles on my 22 Taos S. Replaced with Raybestos Hybrid ceramic and with 87,000 they still have plenty of life.
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.
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.
Also ordered Raybestos pads and rotors.
3) Lastly, the brake pads' bodies are the right dimensions to fit the caliper brackets, but why would the friction-material footprint be so much smaller?! I can only think of negatives with using these.
I thought the brakes sucked
