How to: Brembo STi 08+ (black) on a BRZ 2013

Donnor car: STI 2010
Receiver car: BRZ 2013

Needed pieces:
-Front Caliper STi 2010 X2
-Rear Caliper STi 2010 X2
-Front Backplate STi 2010 x2
-SS braided brake hose (Can used the rubber one, from the BRZ or STI)
-Rotor and pads STi 2010
-Caliper bolt STi 2010
-Spacer 3/4" for the front X2


First of all, rotor have been redrill to 5x100

It's a straight bolt on mods! It took me 4h to do it, taking my time, drinking a beer.. no rush

BRZ OEM front brake





BRZ OEM rear Brake




We got to modify the front back plate. drill a new hole for the center bolt and re-work the outside shape of the 2010 STI

BRZ front backplate


STi Backplate





Front Rotor size difference:





Rear Rotor: E-brake is EXACTLY the same!! I don't even had to adjust it!!



We got to trim the BRZ backplate around the caliper bolt and the outside part
that interfer with the bigger rotor.





Rear Rotor size difference




WE got to install it with the caliper's specific bolt. Bleed it, with both bleeder. they have to be on the TOP of your caliper, not pointing down. I had to add 3/4" spacer to clear my wheels







The braking feeling is smooth on the pedal, but If I need to, it's completely insane! It feels and look like if it was like this from the factory. I love it!

What do you mean center bolt? Do you mean the hub bearing hole?

What
Did you really have to quote all the pictures?

Anyways, cool thread, but I thought we already had one of these? And it's spelled caliper, not galiper.

havent noticed, did you switch the front calipers left to right or not (also switching the bleeder position) ?

the braking pistons size are different top to botom...

if not - they aren't working as engineered

I was going to ask the same thing. Did you swap the plugs and bleeders on your front calipers? Interesting idea reusing the front STI backing plate as well. I guess I am not the only BRZ running this full set of calipers now.

mmm... interesting.... I didn't change the bleeder position... that's maybe why they are very noisy.....
I tought It was the same thing.. I've buy it unmounted....

if the bleeders are still at the top - then the pistons are mixed up top to bottom

you will face VERY uneven pad wear and low efficiency braking

swap the fronts left to right so the bleeders are on bottom, then change the upper plugs to bleeders

voila !

now the enginnering is as planned

see the bore piston difference? because racecar and because STI have the calipers in the wheelbase, while brz have them in front of the wheel

I am interested in the Backplate installation. So the rear we do not have to change right? For the front, drill and install? Thank you.

Okay...it's not a backplate. That's not the correct terminology I don't believe - the item you and the OP are talking about is a rotor dust shield. It is commonly removed during big brake swaps and never put back on. I ran my WRX without a dust shield for the better part of 5 years and had NO issues. Don't worry about the dust shield bro, it's not necessary.

Keep the front calipers on the same side they came on originally. This ensures the pistons are in the proper positions (direction of rotation hasn't changed, so the leading piston is still leading). This WILL require swapping the bleeder plugs from one side of the caliper to the other.

Obviously an old post, but still worth giving the right information.

Thank you man. I know it is not necessary; however, will there be a lot of brake dust on you rim when you run a BBK without dust shield? That will be hard to clean and a shield might make life easier.

Cleaning wheels > wasting time fitting a dust shield, IMO.

My wheel barrels get caked in dust anyway just due to the aggressive compounds, so it doesn't do anything for me.
