Replying to: sharp_325is (Nov 07, 2009 2:56 pm) Yeah, because we all know no BMW 325is has ever had any problems with reliability, ever.   Where is the rolleyes emotorcon? Replies to this message: xwesx (Nov 09, 2009 10:28 am)

Replying to: ateixeira (Nov 08, 2009 6:47 pm) No kidding. I put 220,000 miles on my first Subaru (1996 Outback) and replaced the pads once on the fronts, once on the rears. I never turned the rotors, never had warping issues, and never had poor brake response. Not once, and I live in the most extreme climate in the US.   But hey, I learned my lesson about owning a Subaru.
#91 of 93 Subaru brake pads vs generic by gotfiddle Nov 09, 2009 (5:59 pm)
About to put the first set of replacement brake pads on our 2006 Outback at 84,000 miles, and the dealer wants $550. I can get ceramic pads put on elsewhere for $450, any reason to go with factory replacement pads? The brakes have no issues, just started to squeek about a month ago when the pads finally got thin enough. I'm willing to spend the extra $100 if it's worth it, but hate to make the donation to the dealer if the same product is found elsewhere. Are Subaru OEM pads better? Thanks for any input!

Replying to: gotfiddle (Nov 09, 2009 5:59 pm) $550 for a new set of pads?! That's insane! You could do this job yourself in about 45 minutes including setting up and cleaning up afterward. Pads cost around $120 or so for a front set.   I see no reason to go to the dealer for that service. Replies to this message: ateixeira (Nov 10, 2009 10:35 am)

Replying to: xwesx (Nov 09, 2009 6:15 pm) I think the pads cost even less.   I don't recall what I paid for the front brake pads on my Forester, but for my 93 Miata they cost $17. Both sides, front axle.   No kidding.
