Sti Brembo Calipers on a WRX

[TheNailman]

what kinda mods / parts are needed to make this work?

brackets? new rotors? complete pain in the ass or common mod?

thanks

05 wrx btw

 

[SUBARUDE]

hubs and possibly cv's

 

[mikebike357]

big wheels.

 

[TheNailman]

fit under 06 wrx 17s?

 

[mikebike357]

I would say no. If i'm not mistaken, you need at least a 7.5" rim.

the wheel size isn't realy my issue as i have something all together different lined up in that category.. . .

i was more wondering what would be req'd as far as parts to make this project happen. 04 sti rotors? some sort of adaptor bracket? or would i just be better off getting a different type of brake kit, say new wrx 4 pots?

thnx

so its starting to look like with the bracket and 04 sti rotors, the fronts are cake. looks like the rears are the bioch....hrmmm will ponder this for a while.

06/07 WRX 17's will not clear the Brembo's.

it's not the width, it is the spoke clearance. you would need a 5mm spacer IIRC to make them fit.

Ah, I never woulda thought about using 04 STI rotors. That makes sense.

I still think you should give 'em to me.

 

[TheNailman]

thanks for teh infos guys
