I'm shopping around and I have received quotes as low as $25,981 for a brand new 2019 with PP.

as a guy who did quite literally this (15 to 18) get the 17+ redesign. and enjoy it XD unless you are really savvy with a wrench and can get back door deals on used parts for the conversion it wont be worth the time. I only add up cost into the parts i put on or swapped out. and not my time, but if i was realistic with how much time ive spent at like 125 an hour ( california yo) id be in the whole alot more than I am now...... alot.. like another BRZ alot |

If you track your rig regularly…once per month / quarterly, sure it could be a good upgrade. The stock calipers aren't crap. The less you brake, the faster you'll be.

This only makes sense if you feel that the BRZ is your soulmate....the car for you.
In that case and if you're comfortable with the financials, then yeah, a 2019 w/PP will be a sweet car. Just as another data point, I bought a used 2017 w/PP with only 1900 miles on it last year for $24k. It came with the factory short shifter, factory STi muffler-back exhaust and new Michelin Pilot A/S3+ tires. I'm very happy with it for the price. |

When did you paint them? I'm wondering what it will be like through winter because I want to paint my calipers too. Probably black.

What is the cheapest way to retro fit the brakes? I do like them. Some local junkyard sell the full kit for $2k. Is it too much? |

There really isn't a cheap way of doing them.

Do they at least use the same caliper carrier/bracket? A complete common BRZ calipers only cost $160 on eBay. PP is a much better deal.
