Brake pads - what brand besides OEM?

[Tom Jastrzebski]

Hi everybody,

I will need new brake pads for my Subaru Outback 2001.
Is there any brand besides OEM someone has tested and could recommend?
I believe even OEM pads are probably made by companies which sell them under
their own brand.

Thanks,
Tom

What do you want in a pad? The NAPA ceramics are fairly quieter, low dusting
and last longer than OEM...I also like the old Rebco metal master...axxis
now I think. TG
