And those cars all weigh 500+ lbs more than the BRZ, so doing the 4 pot conversion on those is worth it. WRX brakes are just fine for this car, they are not fine for a WRX. My WRX brakes used to be cooked at the end of a 40 second rallyx run. So far I've yet to experience heat fade on the BRZ during autox, but I haven't taken it to a track yet. When I do I'll get higher temp pads and fluid and I'm 99% sure those will do fine.

The 4 pot front caliper was also used on 06-07 WRX's. It uses the same 294 x 24 rotor that the BRZ etc use. It's an extremely durable caliper that is still used by rally cars. Good race pad selection, cheap rotors, etc.

That's true, they are perfect for rally cars, since they are the biggest brakes you can fit 15" wheels around, and it's very easy to find spares. If you are building a rally car, go ahead and do the 4 pot upgrade. Otherwise, in my opinion it's not worthwhile.

Yeah I didn't bother checking which brakes we had in the rear. Thanks to others for finding the info. Just more proof that the brakes we have are more than enough for this car.
