Default SVX Brakes: They suck so bad it's better just to buy a Legacy apparently

I redid the brakes entirely with reman OEM parts... calipers, rotors, pads, lines... and they still suck. I'm thinking about trying to convert to STi hubs on the car so I can run Brembos or StopTechs... since no one else in the SVX community seems ingenious or involved enough to come up with adapters for the SVX hubs.

But I'm staying away from stock SVX brakes if I can. On paper they should be about as good as the WRX sliding calipers... but in reality they suck.
