I do not think people actually drive their car on mountains fast. I do not think people drive cars fast on forums. I have come to this conclusion long ago. Hard braking many times in a row with performance brakes gives consistency. Brakes all stop the car the same manner if not overheated. Tires and suspension and weight are the factors for stopping

For sure. They'll allow a wider range of pad compounds and brake fluid, and you'll get more life out of pads and rotors. The big Brembos also have better (for me) feel. I'm glad I got them, although I'm sure I could make the standard setup work fine for me at the track and run similar lap times.

We're already working on some AP Racing brake solutions for the new chassis. Remember that our AP Racing by Essex Sprint Kit shaved 20 unsprung lbs. off the nose and allowed one to pretty much thrash on them all day, every day, without any fade or issues. Toyota engineers won an endurance racing championship with our 'out-of-the-box' kit: https://www.essexparts.com/news-blog...-win-at-a-time
If that's not enough for you, we have some other things in the works as well. Our systems don't cost $1500, but they also offer far more than systems that do cost that much. |

For those that do brembos make sense for the added thermal capacity when you spend a full day doing sessions. You can certainly get away with standard brakes, good pads and high temp fluid for the majority of driving conditions at bolt on power levels. My pedal feel actually gets better on a mountain road as good pads tend to need constant rebedding on the street if they're not run hard.. I've done two 30 minute track sessions an hour apart and had zero issues with the brakes. I was more concerned with oil cooling as temps were getting above 260f quite easily.

Sold my 2015 Series.Blue the other day with a Wildwood kit. I'm holding out for the 2023..... hopefully there will be an STi version BRZ with the STi brakes that are on the WRX line? The current brakes look awful on the 2022.....and it sounds petty but brake caliper looks are a thing for even those of us who track multiple times a year

Also got lil info that PP might be coming sooner than later. So maybe you guys don't need to buy BBK.
But w any rumor, take it as a grain of salt. |

Technically, if you want, you can install current PP Brembos in next gen. It'll fit. Suspension in the other hand, it does need different spring (softer rate), but it's almost bolt on.
