Brake pads POWER STOP or OEM Subaru

I too used Power Stop pads on my BMW and I'm happy with them. Available from Amazon and very reasonably priced.

I have them on my scat pack they work real good limited dust and I couldn’t feel any change in stopping power I did the install myself I wouldn’t want to pay the dealer either

I used powerstops on the front. I wasn’t ready for new pads but I was tired of the squeaking that was coming from the basic pads I had. I switched to powerstops and they stopped squeaking and like someone else said the dusting wasn’t anywhere near as bad.

I just did my 2018 Front pads & rotors at 56k. -As others have done I chose Powerstop Evolution drilled, slotted & Ceramic Pads from Rock Auto

I'm running Powerstop Z23's up front on my 2017, had no problems installing them along with a new set of Stoptech (centric) slotted rotors. The part number for the pads is Z23-1308a, and the part numbers are 126.34156SL and 126.34156SR (slotted rotors have a left and right side).

I've been running powerstop brakes for about 3 years now, and they've been excellent for me. drilled and slotted rotors front and rear with Z23 ceramic pads, stock calipers. they do lack a bit of bite while they're cold driving at low speeds. where they really shine is on the highway and they have a chance to come up to temp. coming down from 100+ mph, they're so smooth and consistent. I think they look great on the car too.

Only solution, shell out for a new AFTERMARKET brake pads and rotors. Not OEM not VW but brands like PowerStop, Brembo, EBC, etc. You will pay more, but will last you longer. My set of Powerstop is going strong 13k miles later.

I’m my 2019 Forester, I hit 70k miles without changing either fronts and rears. The fronts now need to be done. Hard to argue against OEM with that performance.

The rear rotors with the power stop ceramic pads are just like they were installed at 20,000km brand spanking new and smooth just like day one no feedback just proper brake function.

I just replaced my rear pads (Powerstop) 3 weeks ago and they already have excessive rust. I know that rust is normal on all brake drums, but my front ones which are still original, don't show a tremendous amount of rust.
