Big thank you Keith a great venue, great company well worth the drive out. Look forward to next one, see you all soon. Pics to follow. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Isn't it great how we can all have a heated debate on the forum and still come out friends in the end. My analysis of everyone's input is: Fit a bbk with pretty much any reputable pad and disc combo will work. Stick with oem calipers and put a good disc and pad combo in for track use, you'll have no problems for most drivers. However eventually after extended stints on track the heat through the brakes will damage the caliper seal and cause a fluid leak. You could of course rebuild this you'll be good to go again for a limited time before having to repair again. That life expectancy is entirely based on driving habits and spirited driving mileage.

Another great meet, thanks Keith for organising!!

The ring is very easy on pads, just throwing it out there. Good pads and a stock calliper will work just fine for most agreed by most here, for HARD driving to achieve a consistent and repeatable pedal throughout the day a BBK is the most sustainable way forward.

So we had 14 GT/BRZs and one Prelude attend our first meet at this great venue. We will be back again! Thanks to you all for attending, including Lee all the way from Essex, and Annie all the way from London.

I totally get that you are right and this is I guess the point that @Deacon is making they are not necessary if you are doing a few trackdays a year and as Jeff pointed out track orientated pads with matching discs will be up for the job if you are. So yes, not worth it for the majority of owners who go and have a play. Even in the sprint series the stock calipers with different pads will do the job and won't hold you back from being competitive. Look at Rob Dowsett competing in my class in a stock car bar PS4's. He's not far off. I would concur with @Ade for the reason for going BBK as I do at lot of miles on the road.

Wanting a decat front pipe if anyone has one going for sale. Thanks,
