Less rotor mass = less sink = larger temp swings. Always balance the brake system "upgrade" with needs and use case. |

The aftermarket calipers that don't look like stock are typically also made out aluminum.

Seems reasonable given they're optimized for this platform. Just hard pill to swallow with Canadian conversation which would put it closer to $1200.

Funny, I have these bookmarked in my car parts folder for when I kill the stock pads lol. Heard great things about them, hopefully the performance lives up to the pricetag.

That said, I personally wouldn't run a street pad with a race caliper, but it may uniquely fit Pat's scenario. |

Mike and I have had many discussions about my "compromise" car. I make known sacrifices in some areas to better fit my priorities in others. My choice is an uncommon one. My car gets used in a much wider variety of scenarios than the vast majority of BRZs.

Any particular reason why? I'm just curious.

There are a few factors. I only want to have one car. But I want to use it to ski most weeks during the 1/3rd of the year. I often ski above 12,000 feet, so it's cold where I go. I drive the car on 2,000 mile road trips annually. I get in 20-30 track days annually. The car will wear snow tires and 200TW tires. The car won't see dramatic power increases due to forced induction.
All of this adds up to a very diverse use case. Any time one sets up a car for this there will be compromises. A specialty tool will always have the potential to outperform a more generic tool. So why use AP 9660s with CPs on my car? The heat capacity and cooling capability of the 9660 caliper with 355 mm rotors will keep the pads within their intended operating heat range. I was surprised to hear this, too. But JRitt thinks DS2500s would also get the job done. So while I'm skeptical about using a single pad compound for winter mountain driving and tracking with 200 TW tires, there are people that know much more about brakes than I do that seem to think this is a viable option given my priorities. Time will tell.
