On the BRZ the brakes already feel great, the bias seems fine, and it's light enough that fade can be fixed with higher temp brake pads.
To certain point, I do agree with you... but comparing WRX to BRZ a bit apple to orange isn't it? Cuz if you think Subaru 4/2 pot calipers weren't that great, wouldn't you change it to H6 big calipers in front instead in your WRX? Also I haven't heard much complain from Rex owner about Subaru 4/2 calipers lack braking.

We don't know 100% til someone test it out to see OEM calipers feel better than Subaru 4/2 pot calipers on BRZ/FRS.
