The FIRST time i stop, it stops just fine, the second time, fine again, the 3rd fine as well but by 10-15mins into some spirited driving, it does not stop as well. Its probably pads, but at the end of the day, there is too much heat to dissipate.

I hope into my other car, it has larger but still OEM Brembo's, Do the same thing. They do not fade, at all on the street. My 86 brakes do.

So after changing all that out, the next logical step is larger rotors with a better cooling design. A full BBK? Not always, but a upgrade from the OEM stuff for sure.

I've never run DS2500s but have run DS3000s (albeit on the track) and was not happy with them. I only ran them because I was out of good pads. They feel soft, wear quickly and fade on track. I switched back to CL pads once Essex sent me some. This wasn't on the 86 though, I've never used Ferodos on my BRZ.

I still find it incredibly hard to believe that 3 stops in 10-15 minutes is going to result in ANY pad or fluid fade even with 100% stock components. After bleeding the shit OEM fluid (with factory air bubbles) I could do 10-15 minutes on track with stock pads without issues - And plenty of others here have done so....
