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.
Sorry I wasn't complaining about the 4pots, they are awesome. Bad wording on my part. On the WRX, the stock brakes are terrible so it was a huge difference, and it is a heavier car so it demands more from the brakes. I just think the BRZ's brakes are so good stock that there wouldn't be any reason to put the 4 pots on this car. Once they add more power, then it will make more sense. I really think this "XT line" is a preview of the cosmetic changes they will be making for the turbo BRZ (BRZ XT) which they will probably reveal at a bigger show. They are just testing the waters here to see if people like these appearance mods.
