- Full Subaru WRX & STI Brake Pad Comparison for the 2015+ Subaru WRX and STI platform.
In this video, I install and compare 3 brake setups, OEM Subaru brake pads, Stoptech pads, and FactionFab brake pads. I compare the feeling while braking, braking performance, etc.
So if you already know how to replace brake pads on your Subaru WRX, then this is the video for you!

Appreciate the videos👍🏼! Im on stoptech pads and rotor. Definitely better than stk. Brake dust on wheels and stopping by calculating the stop distance was frustrating with the stk ones lol. The fact this video took 3 months is mindblowing the camera work looks like you did it in one days section, now thats great editing on the content👍🏼💯🔥🔥🔥🔥!
lmao I tried
Thanks for making the video. This is exactly what I was wondering about.
Glad it was helpful!
appreciate the vid!
you got it boss
Thank you for your videos, great job. Could you advise, what brand car stereo that you have installed? Thank you.
Holy hell I needed this mine leave so much brake dust. Time to change thanks.
Glad I could help
Just did rotors and pads all around on my 18 WRX. I did Power stop and they're super bitey and reasonably priced, a little under $400 for the set. Only been on the car for about a week but so far so good!
Great deal!
street or sport pads?
@@K03sport I got the sport pads, Z23 I believe they’re called and still going pretty good a year later.. almost feels like they’re not as sticky as they first were but still better than stock.
How has the wear and sound been on the factionfab pads? I need new pads and I’m trying to decide between these or something expensive like EBC. My 2015 is a DD mostly but I do drive spirited occasionally. I’d prefer better stopping power while no squeaks
This is a great video, the standard calipers are fine. But for myself I went with the bigger calipers with the performance pack. The 4 piston brembos make for a much better performing setup, I track my car and the brembo calipers allow for much larger pads. Still you can track the standard calipers but you will need to swap pads and fluid.
100% worth it if you are tracking and doing a lot of heavy breaking. How much did the swap cost you?
@@AutoEnthusiast the bremo breaks are on an optional package for the 2020 wrx, and possibly 21/22. it's the performance pack, Canada got its own, the straight-pipes UA-cam channel reviewed it. i found my 2020 in a dealership in north jersey. the package costs about 3k on top of the premium models standard price, the package only comes on the premium model. you get the sti seats, the winter package, the sunroof is deleted, and the bremo breaks from the 17 and older sti in red instead of black. the package cost is about the same as the parts for a brembo swap, if you go with all new parts, and there's no fussing with adapter brackets. it's why i searched for about 6 months for the car. well worth it.
I just daily drive, I dont race or autocross or anything else. Will any aftermarket pad give me a better bite and shorter stopping distances? No dang warm up needed?
who makes FF's pads? I know they didn't make them, so are they rebranding another pad or did they spec the pad material? some companies are hush hush on their stuff
Appreciate the video. I added Stoptech slotted rotors and pads a few years ago and removed them after a year. It wasn’t much of a difference and not worth it with the added noise. I ended up going back to stop. WRX stopping power is horrible on my 2014 WRX hatch. Amazing car, but weak brakes.
Pagid Street Plus, PBS Pro Track, Hawk 5.0 brake pads.
did you go w/the street or sport pads? larger rotors help w/heat (can absorb more but also provides some better leverage). it is difficult to get/find high bite pads w/o byproducts of noise and/or dust so you might have to make a compromise somewhere. could the tires be a culprit too?
@@K03sport they were prob sport. I can’t remember.
I appreciate it! Your right about hawks squeak a lot. I would never buy it. I have stoptech now and stoptech rotors and there good daily with mild track. I haven’t tried faction fab and there probably a little more pricey than stoptech. Anyway I wanted to ask do you plan to keep the wrx while searching for that STI 👍🏼
Nope! It's on its way out!
Is this the stoptech sport or street pads?
I am sure even the stock set up will out perform your tires. I did not hear any lock up for any test.
I'm such a noob but question, can you just get brembos installed on a wrx with stock wheels or you need to change wheels? 19 limited for reference
Hm, good question, I don't actually know. I would assume you are fine because you have the limited wheels if its just a kit of another Subie
some 18s will fit, but it will be tight. not all 18s will clear. offset and spoke design are factors. look up fastwrx's awesome (5-spoke) , wicked awesome (5-spoke), and crucial (10-spoke) wheels.
Stoptech sport or Street pads?
Street!
You have to heat up performance brakes for them to work.
At what mileage for a daily driver should one change pads? Not a hard driver
When your brakes sound like screaming pigs. My mom went 65,000 miles without needing brakes. I've gone 18,000 miles and needed brakes. Everyone is different.
you can change pads at any time. you may need to scuff the rotor surface to remove the old pad material from the rotor face (green scotch pad on a drill, but not necessarily having the rotors turned which remove metal; but depends on rotor condition). if you are at a higher mileage, you can do both pads and rotors. are you doing the work yourself or do you have a trusted garage?
Man these stock calipers aren’t shit compared to my 05 s60r stock calipers.
Oem replacement is not even an option for me the sti Setup is 2k in parts.
Sheesh
Sti Brembo swap is so worth it night and day difference
how much did it end up costing you?
@@AutoEnthusiast way more then it cost to just swap pads. But I think it was like 2k for 2016 brembos, race pads and rotors
Akibano’s
Akebono.
all name w/high profit margins. akebono are "generic" imo and you can do better
The only comparison testing this guy does, is with a box a donuts.
gotta love the keyboard insecurity
Where's your comparison test? Oh wait I just checked your channel and you only have a couple boring videos with a only a handful of views. Just what I expected.
what a loser comment!
kind of a tool thing to say. why not just let him put whatever content he wants and you can quietly use the free-to-you information or quietly leave. 🙂
