Plus, you really think vendors are pushing BBK's that hard? The vendors who even offer big brake kits recommend cooling mods for the engine and pads/lines/fluid first. How many posts have you seen from a vendor jumping in saying "OMG you must buy a BBK as your first mod for the track!".
People on here are just stating potential issues with sti brembos. Plus, real BBK's are more expensive, yes, but thats because they are actually BBK's...
And for the record, I would/am waiting for a cheap set of sti brembos. I don't track my car, and am willing to accept the potential downsides to using them.
Track cars/teams and race teams do things different. Just like everyone who wants to run "racecar" things on the street because so and so racecar does it doesn't make it a good idea or practice for the street. Track pads a great idea for the track, so why not use them on the street? Track use and setup is NOT the same as street use. MANY people fail to see and understand this.
And am I supposed to call Jan from Toyota and ask her what brakes they're using for their racecar and what modifications were done to properly allow it? And if I did speak to her, would we even believe it lol?

You guys should carry some BBK then.
I was referring to the link the OP posted where you click on get more info and it takes you right to their BBK for the 86.
If you look at all of the performance sports cars out there today, most of the technologies if not all came from race cars.
So you want Brembo STi for your own car even though it's unsafe?
Yes, but I would say you should call TRD USA and ask for David Wilson.
