I think I'm gonna miss it too eventually. How long you been away?

Getting bigger calipers really just means you want less brake fade over an extended period of use. Guys that track their cars regularly will upgrade to bigger brakes so that they can track consistently for longer stretches of time. I have no time or money to track, so for me these are purely a visual upgrade. I do hear that ANY big brake upgrade will help stave off brake fade, but the stock STI Brembos are pretty much bottom of the barrel when it comes to quality because they're not true performance Brembos. They're very much street-oriented. So for me, they work just as well as the stock calipers, which I actually liked a lot, but just hated how small they were. I wish Subaru did solid calipers like back in the 2006/2007 WRX days.

Ah, good old 4/2-pots! I have a buddy parting out his GC (recently got smashed) and has a set of those that I'm considering. Like the BROs, they bolt right up, but the rears are more complicated and less of an improvement (if any...?).
He hasn't even gotten them back from powdercoating and now won't have a car to put them on.

Next month will be 4 years since I left. I went back for a month in July 2011, I haven't been since.

You think you'll ever go back? What do you miss most? I plan on making Alaska a place to visit, but I'm pretty much done living here. There's a whole world out there for me to tackle!

Used Brembo Kit (calipers, rotors, rebuild kit)= $1,400 I sold the 2004 WRX/STI rotors and WRX adapter brackets I didn't need, that was maybe only $150, though. Then I had to buy proper rotors and adapters for the BRZ (KNS Brakes.com). That was about $500. Labor for rebuilding the calipers would be about $200. Brembo installation about $400. Red STI lettering is vinyl overlaid on the calipers and glossed on AFTER the calipers were painted black and treated. So if you can do your own labor, you'll save about $600, which is beautiful. Because then you're under $2,000 for Brembo calipers that make the car look 10x more serious. They're completely unnecessary for a daily driver and I actually really enjoyed the stock brakes, but I just hate how floating calipers look.
