Unless theres something I havent been told yet like, Bemani, Egan and Ericdare81 all have purpose built road race cars with 330 mm BBK's, R compund tires, corner-weighted coilovers, and are 300 pounds lighter than my car
I have stock brakes (with almost no pad left).

My R compounds will be at home and I will be running on my M&S P0Neros.

My coilovers will be turned down to street settings.

My transmission, wing, and stereo components cancel out your rear hatch.

Ok, good, then it will be a "spirited" mountain drive then right?

4 pots aren't going to help too much with fade.
I don't know how fast you have to drive through Mosquito Ridge to even fade the stock brakes anyway ... I've never done that.

Sure they do. I faded my stock brakes on the first mosquito ridge drive I did, and I've never faded my 4 pots even at track days.

the newer WRX brakes have redesigned calipers with heat dissapating ridges. I just noticed that recently on my car. Not sure what sort of difference, if any they make but seemed noteworthy.

Actually, they are, relatively speaking. My rotors are a bit smaller, but my RS is also a bit lighter. More importantly, pad compounds are very similar. 4 pots would help him out, all other things being equal. SS lines and upgraded pads and fluid obviously help a lot as well.
