WRX and BRZ versus everyday SUV use
Performance brake equipment, modifications and actual use can change the inspection scope on a WRX or BRZ. Forester, Outback, XV and Crosstrek instead need their own model-specific chassis and engine records. Describing use is useful; assuming a model must have a particular failure is not a diagnosis.
