It's somewhat common for our calipers to cease after it gets overcooked. It happened to me as well. Front passenger caliper ceased on me, so I've swap (both side) to WRX 4 piston calipers. They use stock 86/BRZ rotors, so literally you need is calipers (& few pins & clips) and brake pads. No cutting or any extra effort. Just all stock parts, so if you like you can buy em at the Subaru dealership or other places. It's not an "UPGRADE" or anything, but worth looking into.
Pic for reference.
Oh FYI, it won't clear OEM 17's. You need minimum of +45 offset wheels*. Summer I'm running 18x8 +35 Enkei Raijin and winter 17x8 +45 Enkei VR5.
*some +45 offset wheels won't clear WRX calipers, so make sure to double check.
