  1. On a GT, going from the GT rotors down to the WRX 4 pot rotors is a downgrade (the weight of the car is going to put a toll on the brakes).. the GTs are a tad thicker (which a few years back there was a comparison of which dimension was worth looking into and the thickness of the rotor had a larger impact in performance than a slightly larger rotor diameter under repeative track-speed braking.

     

    Also, the pistons are smaller on the WRX 4-pistons compared to the GT 2-piston floating caliper. Now, you can do the upgrade to lighten the unsprung weight and also change the brake bias slightly to the rear.. but in my opinion, there's no sense in changing the brake balance if your rear end is already light under braking and there's no usable braking power if the rear end of the car is coming off the ground.. any tire that leaves the ground or has little weight starts to become useless in terms of providing grip.

    ITs not a GT... it is a N/A 2.5l

     

    I understand what you are saying about the GT rotors. But I thought that the N/A and the turbo legacy's have different brake sets.
