Subaru 4pots or brembos? Brembos are lighter and much bigger. The subaru 4pots also have a habit of getting sticky pistons.

There heavier but work better as the disc which are used are bigger so dissipate heat more efficient,the calipers themselves still retain alot of heat though but are a better upgrade out of the two compared with the Subaru four pots.SJ.

Compared with the two pot sliders not really and plus the improved braking from the four pots you will have now is really a good improvement over the two pots.SJ.

Answered above,don't worry yourself buddy over such trivial things as weight which will not have no relevance with what your trying to achieve which is better stopping power.SJ.
