STI Brembo Calipers - Anyone tracking these yet?

I'm curious if any experienced drivers have 1st hand on-track experience with STI brembo calipers. Using front and rear calipers or just fronts?

What are your impressions of them? What pads are you using with them? Have they reduced pad consumption? Increased fade resistance? Any stability issues with bias change? Did you notice any difference?

Please share your experiences.

from the research I did, just running the fronts would be better for brake bias. Seems like the rear brembos have less piston area compared to our stock units. I would also like to know

I had a set of these and ended up selling them off before I ever installed them. Didn't want to dry to compensate for the brake bias issues they supposedly present.

Does the car really need anything more than a good pad? I love nice brakes, but I think the size and diameter is probably overkill for these cars. The weight will probably hurt quite a bit.
