Needed pieces:
-Front Galiper STi 2010 X2
-Rear Galiper 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
-Galiper 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 galiper bolt and the outside part
that interfer with the bigger rotor.





Rear Rotor size difference




WE got to install it with the galiper's specific bolt. Bleed it, with both bleeder. they have to be on the TOP of your galiper, 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!

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

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....

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.

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

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.

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.
