That was the picture I was looking for,, thanks!!!

So front FHI 4 pot is same rotor and about the same piston area as OEM BRZ (40.4mm), but the rear FHI 2 pot has smaller pistons than OEM BRZ (38.1 vs. 40.46). So a frontward shift with the front and rear FHI set up due to the rear calipers.

Damn it. I'm embarassed. Gonna go back and edit like 50 posts.

Sorry for the bump on an old thread but just to make sure I am understanding correctly. We should be able to use the front FHI 4 pot calipers (off 06/07 wrx) with no changes to the brake bias at all, correct?

So would this be an okay OE+ upgrade? It should be a stiffer caliper right?

Minimal if any change to brake bias with just the front calipers.

It would be okay. Stiffer caliper and a tiny bit lighter.

How far forward would adding the complementing rear brakes shift the balance forward? How detrimental if at all would the balance shift be and why?

The 4-pots make slightly more brake torque (about 6%), while the 2-pot rears have slightly less (~9%).

My numbers are
65.3/34.7 %f/r for the stock brakes
66.6/33.4 with just 4-pot fronts
68.7/31.3 with 4/2 pots

There are a lot of factors that might make a bias change an improvement, or not. Put on stickier tires, and you have the ability to transfer more weight to the front. Lower the car, and less weight is transferred for a given braking rate. Do both, and maybe it cancels out? Addtionally, EBD and ABS are there to try and sort things out.

I would just stick with stock till you need better brakes. Better pads/fluid. CSG has great pads for our stock brakes that work really well!

As a few others have pointed out the OEM calipers are pretty good. Just need better pads and fluid for track duty.

I only went up to AP sprints for the heat dissipation and thicker pads that last longer and are usually cheaper or same price, but longer life, than the OEM front pads due to a common size and being thicker
