In this case, the brakes are simply "too good" for the amount of kinetic energy that the BRZ can build up and needs to dissipate while slowind down.

Even "hybrid" street pads like the Project Mu HC+800 and Hawk HP+ will screech like a dying pig if they're improperly bedded...
Essex does have a nice burnishing room.. I wonder how much it'd cost to have them bed a set of C300's against new rotors, then just switch rotors and pads like the old days when I wasn't lazy.

Hmm I'd probably just buy new rotor hats too, I know I'm too lazy to bother switching the hats over.

To a point I agree on the noise, mine showed an even layer across the rotor and still scream like a banshee, but later they didn't show as even. :shrug: Mine were smoking like mad during bed in too but I never got them to catch on fire.
