True, however the Evo and STI with the 4 piston caliper were also made by Brembo as well.

Now I'm not saying that it's not the caliper issue, it might end up being so. However, to properly figure out what has gone wrong, we need to look at the situation objectively instead of assuming things and start pointing fingers. By doing so, we may not look at all the variables and miss the solution.

I have NEVER seen caliper pistons come apart like this, very puzzling mystery.

Tell me you can use the car like that in a Subaru and a Lancer but not in a BMW 135... sigh

Cannot speak about WAY (hehe), but most people track regularly use brake efficiently that there is minimal pad/rotor contact times. That will not be a big problem. But I did say that when I tested WAY's pad and caliper at the pit side... it was much higher than my set up.
