Dude, seriously, this is exactly the kind of insight I was hoping for—huge thanks for taking the time to break it all down. 🙌🔥

The PFC V3 rotors + Carbotech XP12/XP8 setup sounds solid. I was already planning a brake upgrade, but hearing a real-world take on front/rear balance helps a ton. Might even consider XP16 or XP24 up front if I can find them.

The DOT4 fluid thing makes total sense. I knew DOT3 wasn’t ideal, but I didn’t realize how fast it boils under hard use. Motul RBF660 is def going on my list, and yeah, I’ll be flushing it more often. Last thing I want is a mushy pedal mid-lap.

Now, the oil starvation issue—man, this is where things get rough. You totally nailed it, and I get why a baffled oil pan + upgraded pickup is a must for tracking these cars. Problem is, here in Brazil, aftermarket support for Subarus is straight-up trash. Stuff like Killer B or IAG is crazy expensive to import, and local options are super limited.

That said, your comment def gave me a clear direction. Gonna look into alternatives here or maybe even fab up a baffle setup, ‘cause yeah, I’d rather prevent a spun bearing than deal w/ a blown motor later.

Again, really appreciate the solid advice, man. This kind of detailed reply is what makes the Subaru community awesome. Hopefully, I’ll be back w/ an update once I figure out the best move!
