Recently grabbed myself a 2017 BRZ PP and it's time to track prep it.
I've been researching and reading a lot (holy crap that suspension mega thread took a couple days).
I have however had trouble finding info about the PP brakes. I hunted a PP down because I hate being under-braked but I want to get an idea for what these brakes are actually capable of in advance so I can keep the money flowing toward track time.
I'll be hiding from the track during the Texas summer months until I get oil temperature under control but assuming July in Texas with NA power levels, proper track alignment, proper tires (RE71, 615K+, RS4), and a competent driver;
Are ducts required or just recommended?
How do drivers feel about XP8's vs XP10's, G-Loc and other equivalents with respect to the performance pack?
Do drivers tend to prefer staggering compounds?
I feel like the PP pads and calipers already have strong initial bite on the street but I have no reference point as this model of car is new to me. I have no idea if I should start with high or low initial bite characteristics. I've made mistakes with too much initial bite on my RX-7 that I would like to avoid repeating.
