Ha! You sound like my brother. Actually...I was tempted to make a little switch that disabled ABS on my old subaru since it was way too intrusive (especially in bad weather). But they've gotten a lot better.

Well the OEM brakes with good pads and good fluid will be awesome for most people. That's the point a lot of us are making.

The TRD front kit (and other properly engineered big brake kits, like stoptech) will improve fade resistance and improve the already very good pedal feel. Crappier kits with no attention to detail will improve fade resistance but likely increase stopping distances.

I wanted to say this earlier, but now I can make this claim with the support of a well known Subaru shop.

Why not just drive it stock and only use larger rotors if it's actually needed?

Obviously the engineers didn't consider "bling" and "baller status" when they engineering this lithe sports coupe. Didn't ya know bling's the most important utility in a car, Dave?

Sadly I missed the damn memo.
