THANK YOU. I had that theory on my head since the BRZ engine is weaker so I thought the rev match feeling would be a weaker. Thanks for verifiying.

I still am concern about the brake feels though. They BRAKE but I've never felt like that in a car until I got my Z. In any cars I just never felt it brake that way before.

I've seen certain cars that obviously owner hadn't maintained it at all; black oil on dip stick and coolant that was probably original and it turns into some funky colors (dark) instead of the bright clean of what it should always be.

Do you know when the brake pads were last changed? Have you taken your wheels off and had a good look at the surface of your rotors? If your pads are relatively new and your rotor surface is clean and flat with even wear pattern, then you'll need to dig in deeper. Having good responsive brakes is top priority.

So they should feel like other brakes whereas if I press slightly it should stop the car responsively? Because when I first got this car I thought it was just the way how Brembo Brakes work.

No, all the previous owner did to the car was put a K&N Airintake.

As far as that I have no idea. The pads are not new I'm sure and the rotor surface is flat and "Clean" (not sure what determines "clean") which step by step process should I investigate.

someone told me to flush the whole brake fluid system but I remember a thread/post here that someone said it didnt work for him when he was trying to figure out his brakes.

I used to be into loud exhaust but it's just not me anymore.
Honestly I think It sounds gorgeous. Has a bit of purr to it, a bit deeper. It's definitely a breath of fresh air compared to some of the riceyer things out there. Its not drastically different then stock just more refined and deeper.

For the brakes: with the car on a flat surface put it in neutral and push the car. As the car rolls slowly picture here by each brake and make sure there's no noise coming from the rotors.
