If your aim is to reduce weight, have a look at Endless calipers, they're lighter than AP Racing (and probably Brembo).

I don't have the figure for Brembo calipers, but a 6 pot AP Racing Caliper weighs about 3.7 kg while the basic 6 pot Endless caliper weighs 3.28 kg, 2.67 kg for a monobloc and 2.924 kg for a light version.

For track driving, you generally want to the rotor ring to be as heavy as possible, along with the pads. |

Have you ever heard of carbon/carbon or carbon/ceramic brake rotors? Comparatively speaking.... lighter than iron counterparts yet greater heat capacity and dissipation Here's a pretty simple, elementary, non technical article for you to read. https://www-motortrend-com.cdn.amppr...rake-rotors%2F Let me know if you need help digesting. When you're ready to accept your failure at thinking you're right, feel free to go to Google and do some research to educate yourself |

I don't even think I've seen them available for the BRZ. My post simply pointed out that heat capacity does not equal weight.....as a poster said you want the heaviest rotors possible for track days.
Then Mr. Snuffles told me to leave because he doesn't understand college level science even though according to his LinkedIn page he should. He let his emotions get the best of him on that post. Interwebs is serious business |

If we keep the material of the rotors constant (iron), one typically doesn't want to get lighter rotor rings. Unless a) your brakes are oversized to begin with (never happened to anybody, ever? ) b) we're talking about something like autox, where you don't have long braking zones, low-speed grip and acceleration are key, and unsprung mass might actually matter. |

Okay, thank you. Before driving a Miata, I was interested in Miatas. They have a maker of very light brakes, if I remember correctly, which is absolutely suspect. Anyway, I wondered if there was one for BRZ's. Hopefully one day, but not a deal breaker as far as buying a car.
