kopke Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 I have a '06 Legacy Lux (yee i know only 2.0 and no turbo. Ther are hardly any turbo cars on the forsaken ieland ) and i was wondering how long the original brakes can last. My car curently stands att 76.000Km or 47.000 miles. I have not notice any dramatic change in the brakes but on the other hand I drive it every day and the changes are slow. The brake fluid has not dropt that mutch. Only just so.

I Donated broknindarkagain Posted September 13, 2010 I Donated Share Posted September 13, 2010 It really depends on how you drive. I usually eat through my brakes in about 25,000 miles. I've seen others make their brakes last over 100,000 miles. The average seems to be somewhere around 50,000 - 75,000 miles. -broknindarkagain My Current Project - Click Here COME AND TAKE IT "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

I Donated broknindarkagain Posted September 15, 2010 I Donated Share Posted September 15, 2010 I think they pads are the same between the two cars....but you will want to compare the two with both of them in hand before you just slap on parts lol -broknindarkagain My Current Project - Click Here COME AND TAKE IT "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

KartRacerBoy Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 How long they "last" depends on minimum thickness as stated by Subaru. If the rotaras are below minimum thickness, replace them. I have no idea what the minimum thickness for rotors for a '96 Legacy is. Search on this site and on the internet generally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boymk123 Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 mine has been replaced once at 83k miles, traffic jam driving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LankyA Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 I'm at 56k and just noticed the screaching sound when the pads are getting low. Any pad suggestions for '08 LGT stock? Should I just get some pads from autozone or spend some extra $$$ for better pads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravisS Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 103k miles so far, stock rotors and pads. Like 75% highway driving with very little traffic though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to go buy ceramic brakes, but I'd spend some money on a decent set. I run Hawk HPS pads, I love them. Now if your car is just stock and you're thinking of staying there, then you can just throw on some OEM ones or buy mid-range pads that aren't expensive. IMHO I'd spend the money on good pads, but I like spending my money on nice things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al-gorithm Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 I'm on 208K km for stock rotors. OEM pads lasted 100K km. Switching out for full brembo swap soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Living Legacy Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 At 73K I've just recently started noticing vibration on the stock pads and rotors. Interestingly enough I've got close to 30 auto X events and one lapping day...they've amazed me. I did replace the brake fluid (do this every 15K or one year)... Good luck!

shutterbc Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 I replaced my pads and rotors at 45K miles, but this was only done because I had a frozen front brake caliper that toasted one side. The other side had plenty of meat left, but of course it's best to replace in pairs. Today I think my brake pad upgrade to Hawk HPS pads paid off. As I was changing lanes on the highway, someone traveling about 25mph slower entered the lane right in front of me. The initial bite of the brakes helped out in this case. I got my pads from Fred Beans, so far they have been a great help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
