I run the Prodrive big brakes and love them, though I have yet to get them to a track day. If my coil-overs weren't so damn stiff, the car would probably nose a lot more under braking...I should upgrade the rears, but have lost the motivation to do so lately. Need new computer.

Luke - I have a set of OEM calipers and rotors laying around, if you'd like to trade for your Brembos. I'll even toss in stainless lines and the fluid/pads of your choice.
If you're actually running in track days the upgrade might be a worth while investment but if I'm not mistaken none of the "regular" Subaru technical forums peeps here participate in track days. Events such as 1/4 mile, Solo-I, Solo-II time trials and the ever famous "I might go one day" really don't justify such an expense. Unless of course you're justifying the purchase with the bling-bling factor which is also fine. Just trying to help you guys spend your money wisley.
