Brake resistance
 
Hi all,

I'm thinking to buy a new BRZ, and I want to use it also on the track.

My previous car was an STi 2009, fitted with brake tubes, dot 4 and Project Miu HC+ pads, and after 5-6 laps on track I always had serious fading problem.

To whom have already tracked the BRZ / FRS , what is the feeling/resistance ?

What I can expect with std setup and improved setup (as the STi) ?

I don't want to upgrade to BBK ;)

Sorry for my spaghetti/english :P

Issues like this are generally more related to the pads and fluid you are running than the brake system itself.

This is a lighter car, with less horsepower. You'll be fine with just good pads and fluid.

For reference, the front caliper is shared with (most) year WRXs, and the rear shared with the Legacy GT, among others. Slightly overbraked from the factory ;)

Thanks for the feedback ;)
