Default 2010 wrx brakes

Ok so my friend just aquired a new 2010 wrx nice car but i have a question about the brakes.

The question i have is why does it just have standard brakes like you find on a fowl-coon and not 4 pot / 2pot?

Was pretty sad to see, its not really what the car used to be..

I found it very refined? The leather seats are quite nice tho..

While it's somewhat disappointing they're watering down the performance of the brakes, you have to admit it's a lot more WRX than you got in 1995 for even less money!

This is true. It's still a wrx at heart, just needs a few mods to bring back that old rex charm

But why pay all that cash out and then have to buy parts to upgrade to bits its always had?

And yer i see what your saying Doug but for me its not about the creature comforts an flashing lights its about what wrx's an sti's were about performance and handling giving you an exciting drive that you dont want to get out of....

He's had it for 2 months an only put a couple of tanks of fuel in it... hahaha

Sounds like Subaru might be trying to compete with the 'now not so', TypeR Integra?
