Wasn't sure what quality to expect, but they arrived well packaged, along with new caliper slides, plugs and also lubricant. The pads seem well made. After installing, the braking power is excellent and they don't make any noise. As I have read in others, they seem much better performing than the factory pads, though we only have a few hundred miles on them at this point - but all city stop and go - so pretty good so far.

The pads fit well to my 2019 Subaru Outback. It runs quietly even though the rotor was scratched and wasn’t turned.

These are nice upgraded street pads. Low dust, no noise, and a solid bite all through the pedal with no fade. I do some spirited hill driving but no track.

As with everything, YMMV but it my case, both of these pads (installed at the rear) glazed over with only outer quarter of the pad actually doing braking now. Its identical on both sides of the vehicle while front pads are continuing to work as expected. May be luck of the draw but both pads behaving exactly the same gives me pause. Hope this helps!!

Replaced the rear brake pads on my 2018 Subaru Legacy after 38k miles. These are nice brake pads and there’s a noticeable performance improvement. The included grease is nice, but not enough to also grease the slide pins, so make sure you have more on hand.One problem though - I couldn’t fit the clips on my Subaru calipers. I struggled for over 10 minutes to try to insert one of the new clips. Finally, I compared the new clips to the original Subaru clips and saw that the pin ends of the clips are a couple millimeters shorter than the originals. Maybe they could be bent to fit, but I was worried they could pop out. I ended up wire brushing/cleaning and reused the old clips and they’re working just fine. I’m adding a photo to show this - old clip on the left, new on the right. Easier to see in the bottom pin ends in the photo - notice that the new pin end is a couple millimeters shorter than the old pin end. It’s also shaped slightly different.I’m still giving 5 stars bc if the pads - wish I could give 4.5 stars though.

Great brake pads! Cost half than the OEM pads, but performs the same. No squeaky sound when braking.

I used these in the rear brakes of a 2017 Outback and they do the job. As far as the "easy to install" all depends on the car model and brake setup.

I have been installing Akebono ceramic brake pads for the last decade or so on my cars.Because Akebono does not yet make a front brake pad for the Subaru Ascent, I decided to try another premium brand for all four wheels.I purchased a set of front and rear ceramic Power Stop brake pads (Z23-2170 and Z23-1808) for about $130 total and installed them along with a set of 4 brand new premium rotors on my Subaru Ascent. I have done the break-in procedure following the manual in the box. Everything was good for the first couple of weeks. The rear brakes then began to make noise, particularly at low speeds in traffic, and over the course of a few days, it became so loud that it was not only annoying but also embarrassing in city traffic.I took all 4 sets off of the wheels, lightly sanded the pads to remove any possible derby, lubed all pins and contact points, and carefully installed them back on the wheels. They were good for a few days, but then the rear ones started making the same loud noise.I decided to buy a new set of rear brake pads (of a different brand) and replaced them, which solved the problem. One or two weeks later, my front brakes started making the same progressive noise that is still loud and happens only at very low speeds.I finally contacted Power Stop customer service and explained the issue. I told them that I would like to return their faulty parts and asked them to give me my money back, but they refused since the 3-month warranty period had passed and they could not do anything.I would never buy or suggest that anyone buy this brand of brake pads.

WoW for the money there are excellent. No noise and they work great. Haven't notice any brake dust YET but that could change.Make sure to grease up the contacts as in some service bulletins suggest.You can't go wrong.
