Looking for good brand suggestions for brakes and rotors for a 2012 Subaru outback that does a fair bit of towing. OR if anyone knows of any online forums where robust discussion about brakes and rotors takes place so I can get into research.

Many thanks in advance!

    Yeah that’s the problem- trying to work out what’s a quality brand. I’m assuming supercheap auto own branded stuff is rubbish. Repco’s stuff I’m more up in the air about. And I think my only other choice locally in terms of shops is Autobarn (or purchasing online from interstate)

      DBA (Disc Brakes Australia) and Bendix are fairly reputable brands, I believe.

      I am also in the market for new rotors and pads, mine are on the verge of squealing when I brake with a decent force.

      Probably gonna go dba and bendix myself, but am window shopping currently.

        I’d be interested to know what you settle on when you’ve made a decision.

        I am not a heavy braker during regular driving but often tow an unbraked trailer (and last week my subie towed a car). God help us all if I put shit ones on

          Will update in the next couple days. My brakes are fried.
