The brakes work fine... well other than the fact you can fade them in one or two hard stops at the track... they just feel spongy.
I don't think there's a booster problem, or the brakes would feel rock hard and just not work well. And I doubt the MC is bad for the same reason: the brakes stop the car just fine.
I'm pretty sure the issue is with the front calipers since they can be flexed *by hand* in a way that changes the seating of the pads. The floating side of the caliper can be wiggled up and down by like 1/8". Maybe that's normal, but I don't remember my WRX sliding calipers doing that. That would explain why occasionally the pads end up rubbing against the rotor tophat, then at the next stop they're back to quiet.
Honestly, I just want that rock-hard pedal and eye-popping braking you get with some StopTechs. The brakes are my favorite thing on the racecar.
