Look, there's absolutely nothing wrong with stock brakse if you're driving on the street like a sane, rational person.
Given that the BRZ/86 in the philippines comes with a nice 100% tax on top of the base price, AND that the standard of living there is so low, most of the people that buy this car are going to be little rich kids or brats who are in all honesty, incompetent drivers.
To give you some perspective, the ability to buy a brand new honda civic already puts you in the top 5% if not 1% of the population. Civics arent even taxed at 100% mind you, it'd probably end up being around 20k USD if memory serves me.
Now imagine that you have a kid who has maids to clean his house, do his laundry, make his bed, bring food/drink, and cook, in addition to having a driver that'll bring him/her wherever he/she wants, wait on the kid in a parking lot even til the wee hours of the morning. Oh another thing is that for these kids, don't really have to pass a test to get a license. You can literally walk up to the window, slip a few thousand pesos (somewhere around 50USD) and be approved.
Add that stupid kid who probably doesnt drive all that much and is used to being pampered, to a sporty, flashy looking car that is probably really rare still in the philippines. Of course the moron is going to drive like a madman. It's bad enough when it happens in the US, but in Manila traffic you're screwed. People don't signal before changing lanes because they're worried it'll give the other drivers a heads up and they'll move up to block the lane switch.
TLDR: It's not the car, its the driver who's probably a coddled brat.
