I feel for you. Recurring issues drive me up the wall. At this point I'd try another dealer simply to rule out another variable.

I just like the looks of the brz, and an STI model would still likely get around 30mpg freeway. I'm planning to move to the Fayetteville, AR area, and on those tight windy but very clean roads, handling and a good gearbox is worth way more to me than brute grunt, so 230-260bhp in a well tuned 2700# car would be great for me. The paycut ill take (about $40k/year make the note cut attractive as well, but not necessary as I have my life in order. Still, that's a case of ammo a month more I can buy, and this isn't lost on me.
I'm going to be coming up on 36k miles in one year, and also nearing time again to replace tires for optimal rainy safety. If i want an extended warranty and tires, that will be at least $3500+ down the tube. I'm not going to pit $3500 more into a car that has constantly been...I like this...but that blows, for me.
This brake issue is brake issue is the last straw, after the wreck. This car is bad luck. Windshield replaced on day three of ownership, dealer dinged it before delivery with the lift arms. The berk cbe fits for **** only one hanger at the tip working, the mid hangers supporting it. The interior suede is showing age faster than I expected. In short...this is not a $43k msrp performing car. I'm not pleased. The brakes are just a constant problem. I'm all around dissatisfied and the brakes piss me off the most becsuee.they are part of that damn sport package I shelled out for and they suck. Worse than any other car. Ever.
