David, are you able to share a specific example of why this would be the case?

Tire compound, aero setup, road courses, suspension setup, etc. all play a role in how a brake setup is suggested. The brake system listed below are setups that are either OEM or fairly close to OEM.
Loading the tire is incredibly important. To sum up what you read in this thread thus far and other setups that we have done (we hope more people chime in TBH since we sold out a couple batches already):
1. OE BRZ F/R - C1 F/R
2. OE BRZ F/R - C2 F/R
3. OE BRZ F/R - CE2 F / some regular sprint pad R
4. Brembo PP F/R - C1 F/R
5. CSG Brembo GT Front / OE BRZ Rear - C1 F / R
6. CSG Brembo GT Front / OE BRZ Rear - C1 F / C11 R
7. CSG Brembo GT Front / OE BRZ Rear - C1 F / C2 R
8. CSG Brembo GT Front / OE BRZ Rear - C2 F / C1 R
9. AP Racing Sprint Front / OE BRZ Rear - C2 F / C11 R
10. AP Racing Sprint Front / OE BRZ Rear - C2 F / C1 R
11. StopTech ST-40 Front / OE BRZ Rear - C1 F / C1 R
12. StopTech C43 Front / OE BRZ Rear - C2 F / C1 R
13. StopTech C43 Front / OE BRZ Rear - C2 F / C2 R
C1 = Our primary sprint brake compound focus - can be used from OEM tire to slick. Med/High friction characteristic.
C2 = Slightly higher friction than the C1. Designated as high friction characteristic.
C11 = Used sparingly for rear application. It's touch more friction than the C1. Med/High friction characteristic.
CE2 = Long endurance application with strong bite and extremely long wear. Low/Medium friction characteristic.
All pads have excellent consistency, modulation, high fade resistance, and high thermal capacity. They are compatible with OEM and Bosch ABS and TC application.
The major issue with other manufacturers is the major difference between each compound. While other manufacturers mull over friction coefficient, longevity, etc. with each individual compound, we built in a varying degree of each to each of our compound, making the spread of friction coefficient much smaller than our competitors.
