Brake pads POWER STOP or OEM Subaru

Power stops are great I’m about to get some for my Ulti that fit with my brembo calipers

Had em on my LS430, brake feel better, definitely a bit more noticeable bite

I went in for a 30k service (2021 Ascent) and mentioned the brake judder and warranty extension. They confirmed and ordered the parts (pads and rotors), awaiting parts now but it seems it will be all be covered.

I recently (about 5K miles ago) did Powerstops and absolutely love them. I’ve done many brakes on many of my Toyota/Lexus SUVs and most of the time have had best luck with OEM, but the OEM on my Sequoia not so much (warping/pulsing). With much research found the Powerstop drilled and slotted are great for these large beasts…and indeed they are!

Get the Powerstop z36 don’t waste the extra money on the red calipers.

I have had good experiences with PowerStop rotors/pads. I tow an 8k camper regularly with my half ton on stock wheels/height.

I use and recommend the Z23 Evolution Sport Pads. They refer to it as Carbon Fiber Ceramic. It is incredible. It really last a long time. Has great stopping power and it produces very little brake dust.

Their brakes are quiet and last a long time compared to my previous experiences. Pads going on two years. No noise, no squeaks, no rattles. very minimal brake dust.

if the "powerstop track day" pads are offered in your application, those are the cheapest things I've found that will sort of work for a track day. and by that, I mean at novice or slow intermediate pace for my platform.

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.
