Does the BRZ Get Pad Knockback
 

Just wondering if the BRZ suffers from pad knockback. I don't think it would, but just want to confirm before getting a BRZ. Thanks!

I've had no issues (track, autocross, street), and haven't heard of anyone else having issues.

That's good news! Thanks!

I had my m3 on track today, and really missed my BRZ....

I had a Camaro SS as a rental for the F1 race in Austin and missed my BRZ the whole time. :thumbsup:

I'll echo Celica73s post. I haven't seen anything on track or street.

Thanks for letting us know. :w00t:

The pad-knockback issue was with the 04 STi due to the brembos and the 5x100 hubs/bearings. As the smaller 5x100 bearings would flex the face of the rotor would knockback the pads in the turns and then you would have to double pump the brakes to get pedal at the end of the front straights.

With the advent of the newer style bearings, even those who have put brembos on the 5x100 05+ Leg and 08+ WRX, there hasn't been much chatter of pad knockback to my knowledge.

You should be fine.
