Does anyone know of any front bar upgrades or brake pads that autocrossers have been successful with in the 17 PP? Or is this a time where progress requires experimentation?
Same as any other car for the front bar. I use the common Whiteline 20mm on my 2017 BRZ, used the same one on my 2013 FRS. Brake pads are kind of personal preference. I've used Hawk HPS on both my twins (and other cars) and also like Ferodo which I use on my BMW (DS2500). Good street/autox pads, not great for track (BMW has Hawk DTC60's for track).

EDIT: I should mention that front bar is used for STX classed autocross, but stock class guys use the same thing usually.
