No, they are completely different sizes. The Brembo Caliper is much larger than the stock caliper.

You know low dust levels are a selling point for performance pads right?

Maybe at O'Reilley's.

I probably should have worded that different, if I were to walk into a Subaru dealership and order Brembo brake pads and calipers, would they fit on the FR-S?

Yes they would fit on your car, but the real question is, will your wheel clear them? If you are running stock wheels then the answer is no.

not only this, but you would need the Disks too... IIRC @CounterSpace Garage has a Brembo kit, that would probably be cheaper in the long run

Please contact us if any of you are interested in the Brembo GT kit. The rotors that come with this Brembo GT kit are high quality Brembo discs, which has a different formulation than you standard disc.

Are the rotors from the CSG kit swappable with the OEM brembos?

The CSGxBrembo GT kit comes with 326x30 rotors that are the same size as the STI, so it's basically similar to the BRZ PP OEM Brembos. This GT kit does come with Brembo rotors that have a different material composition than your standard replacement rotors, hence why the performance and longevity of the rotor is different compared to the others.

I'm used to running EBC yellows on my previous cars. I'm loving the PP brakes so far on the street, but haven't gotten to tracking them yet.

How sufficient are the stock pads on track? Should I stick with the stock pads for main DD use with occasional weekend autox/track days? What pads serve the same purpose but are better than the stock pads?

TofuJoe · 09-11-2017, 01:02 AM

Winmax W3 are available for the performance package brakes now. I'd like to hear about other choices, too.

jamal · 09-11-2017, 01:27 AM

As far as I can tell from checking a few catalogs they use the same shape as the sti brembos. d1001 front d961 rear.

Ferodo 1562 / 3067
Hawk HB453x.585 / HB180x.560

I know this isnt really on pad topic however jimmy from vex did a fantastic write up a while ago on wsc about why sti brakes (like the entire swap) isnt a good idea

@jamal - thanks for the info. RallySport Direct confirmed the Ferodo DS2500 part numbers you listed will work for the PP brakes. Total was $359 including free shipping.
@trippinbillies40 - I know you posted some time ago about the DS2500. So yes, they are available for the '17 Brembo PP brakes.

I contacted 86Speed about ordering the Winmax W3. They were not in stock. 86Speed was nice enough to call Winmax for me, and they have a couple sets of rears, but no front pads to send to dealers right now.
