Hoping this would do the job but mid way into my first session this passed weekend, same thing happen. Obviously not as bad but still started getting that soft pedal feel and bad brake fad.
I don't want to have to do a big brake kit since they're a ton of money. Any suggestions on what else to get around this. Maybe brake ducts could help a little?
Mod list: intake, front pipe, cat back, ecutek tuned on e85 by Visconti.

Did the pedal get mushy, or the car just stop braking?
What kind of tires are you on? (Make, model, and size) Are you running XP10 front/rear?
XP10 is great for intermediate level guys, but if you're quick, XP12 is the way to go (assuming you want to stick to Carbotech). If you're in a hurry, I believe we have it in stock.
It's very possible that they were bedding the 1st session; did the brakes improve later? ATE generally is not suited for quicker drivers. I'd recommend trying Motul RBF600. If that doesn't work, step up to Project Mu. If that doesn't work, then Torque RT700.
This isn't a FR-S/BRZ, but this picture is from the past weekend, with Project Mu 999, and Torque RT700. One of the rotors cracked during cooldown, but the brake fluid didn't get mushy, and the pads never faded.
