Big Brake Kit?
 
I know brembo has a big brake kit but it is a little expensive for me. Are there any other big brake kits for the subaru brz that would work well on a track?

StopTech is probably your best alternative. See some of the kits they offer in my posts here in the Commercial section:

Upgraded pads & rotors w/ stainless lines will do wonders for the car and not cost you an arm and a leg.

Here's a link to their "Endurance Kit":

Unless you're a very very fast driver on race tires or you have big HP, i think a BBK will be overkill with this car. Otherwise the AP racing kit looks like the hot setup.

I'm running the stoptech pads ( stock rotors are fine and I don't really need stainless lines) and with good fluid (RBF600) they're more than adequate for light track use on street tires and street use. Low dust and no noise compared to a race pad.

Stock brakes are really only barely adequate for track days, even with track pads - they get way hot. Don't really need a BBK per se, but something like that AP racing kit looks like it will be an awesome upgrade for us HPDE fans.
