Hello,
I have lower spec brakes also. With EBC yellow-stuff front and rear pads, whole track event in hot summer day wasn't a problem. But I have good, cheep and effective cooling aids there . Actually I've prepared to upgrade to the upper spec because the front caliper difference is only its bracket (the thing between knuckle and caliper). But current setup is so well with 205/55R16 BS RE01R so I've postponed at least until front discs broken. @troek may want to know about the bracket. Just try to get second hand Legacy/Forester calipers with discs. It will just fit. Regards, Hanjo |

Yeah I looked into it. It's the same as elsewhere. When I heard bracket I thought of something u use to adapt a 4 pot or something. I considered what is being called the bracket as part of the caliper. I'm not use to this style calipers. When my rotors go ill upgrade probably.

From my understanding the calipers are the same between the GTS and GT so will GTS sized rotors fit on GT base model?

I cooked my lower spec brakes with TRD front pads in a couple of laps of my local track....What type of pads would people recommend for tracks that are notoriously hard on brakes?
I would like to reduce my stopping distance, but more importantly at this stage, I would like to stop overheating them, so I actually have SOME brakes! |

I have the entry level GT86 as well.
I have an Alcon BBK on now but when zi had the stock brakes on I ran Ferodo DS2500 pads front and rear with SS lines and AP Racing 600 fluid. Brakes held up fine on the track performance wise. Very consistent feel, no real pad or fluid fade. The front rotors wore down pretty quick though. Anyhow, I had to do the same research when trying to find the right pads for my car and I basically found that our cars use WRX brakes front and rear. Rears are unventilated but that doesn't seem to be such a big deal. For me it was the front brakes that took a real pounding. I've listed the caliper/pad part numbers as well.

I ended up buying a whole bunch of Endless Stuff. and I'm still Waiting for them to arrive
My final setup will be: Endless RF650 Brake Fluid (I've been reading good reviews on that stuff) Endless E-Slit Discs (Front ventilated and solid rear) Endless SS lines (Swivel Steel Braided Lines) Carbotech XP12 Brake Pads (Front and rear) and while I was at it, I bought myself an exhaust and a diffuser (cause it wouldn't be christmas if I didn't get myself something nice... lol) Looking forward to trying it out on the track. |

Bro, sorry to dig up an old thread. But i am facing the same 16", smaller, different brake setup here in Singapore. Was planning to order front and rear brake pads from the US online stores. From your experience, will the USDM rear brake pads for the larger disc diameter setup fit our smaller disc setup? Looking at Stoptech or Ferodo. |

Some people have asked me this a few times over, so no problem.
I have friends who have bought the USDM (upper spec) rear pads without knowing about the difference and installed them in their cars without a hitch. |

Bringing this back to life as just did a GT86 with GTS front rotor upgrade.
When doing the swap I happened to measure the caliper pistons on both to find that the base GT runs bigger 43mm pistons than the GTS 40mm. Why Subaru would do this is beyond me but figured that they should be better than the GTS brakes with the bigger pistons and gts rotors . |
