My experiences mirror the findings of that test. You can think what you want but the upgraded oem brakes in my WRX where as good as the my STi's bling-bling billion-dolla Brembos. The Brembo are a bit easier to modulate but that is due to the pads. I'm sure that the additional mass would have some benefit in extreme track use but that doesn't seem to be the issue here.
no i was talking about what zdriver96 was talking about, the $2000-$3000 brake upgrade
