I just get worried seeing the pic of that one red 86 in Japan with a big rusted groove in the rotor; either they installed them incorrectly or the setup just plain doesn't work. I tried contacting GReddy directly to get more info but they never replied.

Won't be a swap that I'll be considering any time soon! The stock brakes in the FR-S/BRZ are fantastic, I found out yesterday!
I wouldn't focus too much on the red car. so many things could have been done wrong. easiest explanation is they used old pads on the set up that were matched to another set of rotors. They mated to the new rotors poorly and didn't make contact in the middle...
