I am looking to downgrade from the Alcon 6/4 kit (consumable costs killing me) to save some money (on a smaller brake kit and smaller wheels/tires) as I go to the track once every few months. So far in two years, I have used up 3 sets of front pads (Ferodo DS performance x1, Dixcel-Z x2), and only 1 set of rears (Ferodo DS Performance). What is the replacement ratio you guys that track are getting for front and rear pads for the STI Brembo swaps?
While doing the STI Brembo swap on the rear for the standard 86/BRZ is said to be not not beneficial (is this applicable to both GDB and GRB, or just GDB swap?) due to the caliper size, anyone in Australia/Japan/SE Asia have a view whether the swap will be considered an upgrade to the "AuDM GT/JDM G" spec 86/BRZ brakes, which comes with the 16" wheels stock?
Thanks  |
well i went from the BRZ 17" wheel brakes up tp 2012 STi brembo front and rear, and it feels soooo much better. I track the car at least 4x a year as well, have never experienced any fade. Consumable cost is low, my front pads are due for replacement soon.
