Is that why he couldn't stop when he lost and kept driving all the way home?

I like all the responses keep them coming. Especially the caliper covers.

Some more info about me to clarify my thinking.

I have an 04 WRX and a 16 BRZ. Both are daily’s. I will own these forever or until they implode. I have kids to get through college, but after that I fully intend to rally the WRX in local races and probably autox both. I have made a ton of performance mods on my 04 WRX and done on my BRZ. So even if I do BBK for looks now it will be good for later. I have 4 pots on my WRX.

I just would love the look of a BBK with my new wheels. So I am in the research phase. Keep them coming and thanks.

I have that and I wouldn't call it a BBK the rotors are about the same size as stock and its not a big caliper. For looks Id try to find someone selling off there PPK Brembos for cheap

So looking for opinions on which way to go, 4pot/2pots, used STI brembos, Other bbks. Obvious I do not want to break the bank pun intended.

No tracking or even auto x and I live in NY so dust boots are probably a must.

Yes I have searched most kits, just want to see what others would do.
Subaru 4 pot/2 pot. No need to spend more in your given circumstnaces
