Are the BRZ/FRS calipers the same as another Subaru? Like a 2006 Legacy or something?

I dont know many brands of pads myself, have used carbotech with success tho...

for street and lite-track I'm on ds2500 all around, when I go bbk, thinking ds3000 or xp12/8

Hawk HP Plus is a good street/track combo pad. I think the part # is:HB711N.661

Granted, you'll have more power than us, but we were unable to properly bed XP12 on track a few weekends ago, even with R-comps on. No brake ducting yet, but it was also dusting snow...

I'd recommend a square setup on pad compound, even with the CE8350, after doing some experimenting.

We have everything in stock, including pads for the CP8350 :)

Just throw them straight in the garbage ;)

I use these on my Mustang, works well but quite dusty.

Don't forgot to be swapping rotors too then, for best performance.

Properly bedded in track pads don't really make much sound.

OEM brake discs are pretty good. Remember this brake system was adopted from the WRX which is much heavier with much more power. :thumbsup:

I haven't found aftermarker rotors to be a huge improvement over stock, when compared to dedicated track pads. I like to wear out my OEM rotors before moving onto something else. In terms of bedding/deposits, I usually throw on the track pads one week before the event to allow the cold track pads to shave off the deposits from the street pads so I have a nice clean rotor to bed in once I get to the track.
I was speaking solely about swapping in another set of OEM blanks with the track pads. Again, this was for best performance, not for ease.
