tdedianous Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 I work as a delivery driver. So while I don't race or anything like that, I would go through brakes every 5 or 6 months on my previous car. I always got the cheapest option though. While I'm not trying to get brakes fit for a Ferrari obviously, what would still be a decent top of the line option in my case for the legacy. I just want something that will last an exceptionally long time but at the same time isn't overkill. It's a 2013 Subaru legacy 2.5i premium.

nads Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Are you just looking for pads? Do you want better braking or just same as factory with better longevity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdedianous Posted June 7, 2018 Author Share Posted June 7, 2018 (edited) I'm looking for a pad and rotor set. Better braking would be good, main goal is longevity though. Edited June 7, 2018 by tdedianous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVAKeith Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 See how the stockers treat you. I’m at 77K on mine. Although the GT (and 3.6R) have bigger fronts which may help with longevity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nads Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Tires go a long way too for brake performance. I just replaced my stock front pads at 63k and they had about 5mm left on them. replaced with Power Stop Z23 pads and new Centric pain rotors. Seems to stop better than stock pads and no noise.

creep_nu Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 the z23 pads are great, been running em for about 6 months so far. don't know about their longevity, and they dust quite a bit, but they stop real nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgoodhue Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 I work as a delivery driver. So while I don't race or anything like that, I would go through brakes every 5 or 6 months on my previous car. How many miles per year are you driving? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLlegacy Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Stick with oem. Hawk hps are also long wearing, but it will really come down to how and how often you use them. If you are only looking for longevity OEM. Mine had over 70k miles on them and were about half worn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdedianous Posted June 9, 2018 Author Share Posted June 9, 2018 How many miles per year are you driving?If I had to guess, around 25,000-30,000 Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the stock rotors and pads on the Subies are as I see it pretty good and should last longer than the 6 months you are used to. Just be aware that long life pads means short life rotors and possibly also not as good braking power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oxygene Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 I currently am running the stock pads and at 80k miles now. Thinking they might need changing soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxrider28 Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 I currently am running the stock pads and at 80k miles now. Thinking they might need changing soon.I changed stock pads @ 90k and most of them still had 1/4 pad left. Warped front rotors was the only reason I changed them out then. I'm sure one could make OEM pads last 100k mi with regular daily driving and using engine braking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
