Just installed these on my 2016 Subaru Forester, and wow, the difference is night and day compared to my old worn-out pads. The stopping power is crisp, and they're whisper-quiet—no squeaks or grinding noises.
However, I did notice the shims aren't a perfect match for the calipers. They work, but there's a slight gap that makes me wonder about long-term wear. Not a deal-breaker, but something to keep an eye on.
The included synthetic lubricant is a nice touch—saved me a trip to the auto parts store. Installation was a breeze, though I wish the clips were more consistent (one pad had a clip, the other didn’t).
Overall, great value for the price, but if you’re picky about OEM precision, these might not be your holy grail. Still, for daily driving? Zero complaints.
