After a week or so of very mild driving it went away though and hasn't come back even with some intense braking I've had in a recent heat wave here in Aus.

I was considering changing to T3 Rotors instead but now I'm thinking I might just get a BBK.

I changed the Pads to Ferodo DS Performance pads, they didn't get much fade but they crumbled a little around the edges, next time I'm gonna run Ferodo DS 2500 pads instead as everyone has been recommending them.

Fluid was changed out just before the track day to a Bendix fluid, not sure on the deets on it I just asked my mechanic to sort it quickly before the track day as the original fluid was almost brown.

Hm, I wonder if it was a bedding issue that caused the noise. Oh well. Thanks for the insight.

Changed to some DS2500 pads and Dixcel 328 racing DOT 4 Fluid two weeks ago thanks to Garage 88.
Feels much better on the road with a better pedal feel.
I'll have it out at the track next month to feel how it actually holds up at the track

Installed an OEM Subaru Oil Cooler, should drop track temps from 130 Degrees to no more than 110 Degrees
Thanks to Forged Performance for setting up the kit https://www.facebook.com/forgedperformanceaustralia
