The front rotor of the tS will fit on your car with the STI brembo without any issue. The offset of the disc are only 0.1mm off from each other.

As for the rear, I'm not 100% sure but I'm pretty confident that they'll fit. Worth a shot before going with the DBA rotors
Thank you! haha, for real though, it's annoying.. And that's good to know about the front, 0.1mm is basically nothing. I ended up selling the '13 but have a '22 ordered and it doesn't look like a Performance Package will be offered, so I will likely do this swap pretty quickly. I'll see what I can source, if I can find a good deal on the rears I'll give them a try.

It depends on which ones you use. The 04-17 front calipers are basically all identical. But the 04-07 and 08-17 rears are different. The 04-07 use a 36mm piston and the 08-17 use a 40mm. The 04-07 will move the bias significantly to the front, but according to the calculations I've seen done by several people, the 08-17 only shift the bias forward about ~1%, that's negligible as far as I'm concerned.
