Well yeah, obviously. Still, the fact that you only have front Brembos means you're not concerned with just looks. You see that they're effective in some way.

Stock to stock, I much prefer OEM brakes on a BRZ. You have to be really standing on a brake pedal to slow down the STI. And that's with properly breaking in the pads. I hear pad changes/cylinder braces/ss lines etc don't do much to change the bite progression in an STI.

And before anyone tells me that only paying $100 more for Brembos is ridiculous allow me to show you exhibit A, the Mustang GT. For $1700 (Brake package) you get 14" rotors with Brembo calipers and 19" wheels. Or for $800 more (Track pack) you can add to that a Boss 302 upsized radiator, Torsen LSD (not sure what type is standard) a different final drive and different ESC tuning. Summary being, that STI is price raping anyone that buys these 2 new models.

I agree they do price gouge, but Brembo themselves are to blame for that, in my opinion.
I agree with all points made. I just think it's weird when people act like Brembos AREN'T an upgrade in any way. I just think the benefits are negligible. And most street cars don't come with "good" Brembos anyways. |
