The older WRX kit is 12"x0.81" rotor, the new BRZ kit is 12.88"x1.1" rotors. It's a pretty big difference in rotor thickness.

I've raced a 2750lb car with 12x.81" rotors, they are not going to have the heat capacity to hold up to real abuse. They would warp after a hard days use and I would change out rotors to complete the weekend.

Now if you were at a track that was easy on brakes and I can see using these to help acceleration. There are not that many people that change brake packages for different tracks other than pro race teams.
