Nice! I put a set of gold Brembos on my 2017 WRX. You're right, they're overkill, but they sure look nice and work great.
Pros: look nice, work great
Cons: overkill

If your tires are on par with your brakes however... 6 piston Brembos are the greatest upgrade ever. I had a set on a mustang, and an S4 and I have to say it is not just that last level of locking up that they are good for. They’re smooth, they’re progressive.
Pros: smooth, progressive braking
I have Brembo brake pads for my Toyota Avalon.They definitely perform a bit better than regular,non-ceramic brake pads.
Pros: better performance
Vehicle:
Toyota Avalon
There are more choices now for aftermarket pads for the RS. The RS Brembo calipers use a distinct pad shape that isn't common. A lot of guys use Mountune, or EBC. Race Tech, the US Brembo Distributor, has TS20 (track/street) front and rear pads that have better performance and less dust that the stock pads.
Pros: better performance, less dust
Vehicle:
Ford Focus
I have Brembo front pads. Feel very OEM but with a modest decrease in brake dust.
Pros: modest decrease in dust
But I will say the pads are great, they stop well, they never squeak...but man my iron-x budget is going fast.
Pros: stop well, never squeak
Cons: horrendous dust
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Well worth the money considering the increase in braking performance. It stops HARD now. A significant improvement over OEM. All things considered, I am SO pleased with the performance. I am glad I decided to do the 4-piston 1LE setup instead of the 6-piston 17Z or 18Z calipers. While it’s not really a direct ‘bolt on’ solution, the small amount of work that’s required to get everything to fit is worth the time invested.
Pros: stops HARD now, significant improvement over OEM
Cons: not a direct bolt on, work required to fit

Krazee said: Option 7: ECS Tuning/Porsche Boxster Calipers *Plus: -Larger, 4-piston Porsche Boxster Brembo Calipers. -Bolts on to 12.3\u201d Audi TT rotors -Larger pistons, larger pads means increased clamping force and swept area.
Pros: increased clamping force
Cons: larger rotors means increased weight
Vehicle:
Audi TT
I have an 04 W8, ill say this. Get a BBK from Brembo or someone. The front calipers are way to wide and large for what they would do for a smaller car vs the cost to make them work.
Cons: calipers too wide and large
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
I had lots of issues with my OEM M3 brakes. Not only did they overheat within a few laps regardless of pads and fluid, but also the feel was bad. Hard to modulate, squishy pedal, just no bueno. The OEM ones are single piston floating calipers. Bad.
Upgrade to Brembo 4 piston and even with cheap pads on the same rotors the pedal is way nicer, predictable, and is way easier to threshold brake.
Pros: better pedal feel, predictable braking
Cons: overheating, bad feel, squishy pedal
