^^^This.

I'd guess that STI brakes may even hinder acceleration and cornering speed. STI front rotors are ridiculously heavy. I'd guess about 30 - 35 lbs each. Yes, each. Sure the calipers are lightweight, but the weight of the rotors kills any weight savings and then some.

I'd guess that the hot brake swap would be the Subaru 4-Pot calipers up front and leave the rears alone.

Then just run some good track pads, and a little air ducting and you're good to go.
