Are the BRZ/FRS calipers the same as another Subaru? Like a 2006 Legacy or something?

I dont know many brands of pads myself, have used carbotech with success tho...

for street and lite-track I'm on ds2500 all around, when I go bbk, thinking ds3000 or xp12/8

Hawk HP Plus is a good street/track combo pad. I think the part # is:HB711N.661

Granted, you'll have more power than us, but we were unable to properly bed XP12 on track a few weekends ago, even with R-comps on. No brake ducting yet, but it was also dusting snow...

I'd recommend a square setup on pad compound, even with the CE8350, after doing some experimenting.

We have everything in stock, including pads for the CP8350

I use these on my Mustang, works well but quite dusty.

Don't forgot to be swapping rotors too then, for best performance.
