Items were packaged well and arrived as expected. Brakes pads were very hard to install in the caliper holder but fit fine. Just difficult to get in place with the tight retainer springs.

Happy to have the extra stopping power and really makes my WRX pop

Look awesome and feel great

Hope this feels good on the pedal. Looking forward to the install.

got these in the spring of 2022 when I needed new pads. it's currently october 2023. i got a pad notification that I may need new pads within the next 3 months last time I took the car in for a check. I don't track the car, just a spirited daily driver who pushes the car relatively often. i sent them to a shop as i hate doing brake work after dealing with my bud's electronic parking brake. the pads I think have performed EXCELLENTLY, i cannot think of an instance [KNOCK ON WOOD] where the brakes have locked up, ABS kicked on, or anything where I felt a total loss of control while braking since I got them installed. I live in the PNW so I deal with heavy rain, heavy snow, occasional hale, ice, slush, you name it. Only condition I don't think I've driven my car in is heavy loose mud. I deal with dirt roads and mud in the summers going to hiking spots but I've never had an issue. I don't particularly notice too much rust growth if at all when I haven't driven the car in a while. I plan on buying the same pads in a few months here when I need to replace the pads. I would say I drive about 12K/year so I've probably put 16-18k miles on the pads.

Got the front and back of these. Getting the old rotors off and these ones on wasn't too hard, but the hardware for the brakes pad themselves honestly took me about the same amount of time to install.
In the end it was worth the struggle for the upgrade, braking power is increased tremendously and if it wasn't for these I would have possibly crashed when someone ran a red light and almost got tboned.
