Agreed the brakes are mostly for track, but there they will make a difference.

Subaru Canada won't release any info on the SY yet- my contact there talked to the brand manager for the car. No price or date of release.
The Sachs may make a difference but nothing massive to the average driver using the car strictly on the streets. Not everybody is a pro driver that can truly tell the difference even if they think they are. If they make a huge difference on your daily commute then you need to revisit how you are driving on a public road. The brakes will make a huge difference on the track.


Yes, the guy I talked to said they were getting one and that is all they have been told so far. No date or price has been set. Odds are that if they are mostly ordered already then there could be a dealer mark up applied anyway so whatever sticker price they give it could be completely meaningless.
