Front hub/knuckle/flange shared with any other model?
 
Does anyone know if the front knuckle/hub and associated parts are shared with any other Subaru/Toyota model?

Looking to mock up a big brake conversion but need a cheap assembled package I can use rather than an actual car.

Pretty sure the knuckle and wheel side of the hub is identical to a WRX. The other side of the hub is different because there's no splines for an axle, but that won't effect brakes.

Which WRX though? The late 2008- ones have a different PCD, no?

It is definitely not the same part. However, the brake caliper mounting and spacing/offset of the rotor is the same between the brz/frs and every Subaru.

Only the STi has a different bolt pattern, but front brake mounting is still the same. Just different holes in the rotor.

No. As Jamal said, only the STI is different. Well, the SVX is 5x114.3 too and so is the Tribeca...but those are rarely talked about.

What kind of brake solution are you looking for? A common GR WRX upgrade was Legacy GT front brakes which are 316x30mm.

I'm looking at throwing together a 32mm wide kit with AP products. Nobody else uses the same parts I intend to, so I have to do it myself!

So what year WRX are we talking about chaps?

Doesn't matter. Front brakes mount the same on all of them.
