Brake pads Textar or OEM Subaru

The textar pads are great for normal and slightly aggressive driving. The initial bite is great compared to ceramic pads, although they do dust a lot. To me the trade off is worth it for great pedal feel.

I've owned 5 subies including 2 WRX's...I always used OEM pads. They seem to be the best bang for the buck. I've tried spending more a couple times and it just wasn't worth the cost.

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 VB brakes are fine until they get really hot at which point they fade badly.

personally, yeah i don't find the brakes to be particularly worse than my other non performance cars. i did feel like that at first but once i got used to it it was no issue.

The WRX has brakes that are worse than all of them. It takes an amount of pedal pressure that had me check if the power brakes were working. The brakes on the WRX are ass.

On my 22 the brakes were not adequate.

The brakes on this car are pretty ass.
